🌸Talofa!🌸

We're proud to partner with the Samoa Family Health Association to deliver the Bridging the Gap: Contraception Demand and Access for Young People in Samoa project.

Earlier this month, we worked with an inspiring group of young people to build research and communication skills and supporting them to actively shape the project through the co‑design of the Talanoa interview questionnaire.

These interviews will gather insights directly from young people in Samoa on their needs, experiences, and priorities related to contraceptive demand and access - ensuring their voices directly inform the design phase of project.

This week is Youth Week 2026 – celebrating the theme, Dream. Dare. Do. 🎉

Our Health Promotion team has been out in the community connecting with young people at events across the Inner West, Penrith and the Blue Mountains.

We’ve also been running Youth Week activations in all our clinic waiting rooms - sharing resources, starting conversations, and making sure young people can access the information they need.

We’ve loved creating safe, welcoming spaces to chat about relationships, consent, sexual health, and wellbeing, supporting young people to feel confident, informed and empowered 💬
