Our international development program advances sexual and reproductive health and rights in the Pacific, and we advocate as a non-governmental organisation with United Nations consultative status. Family Planning Australia is an independent, not-for-profit organisation responsible to a voluntary board of directors and we rely on government funding, donations and self-generated income to provide our services. We are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). Our government funding comes from the Federal and NSW governments, as well as Local Health Districts. Founded in 1926, we are the oldest family planning service in Australia.
