                                                       We fight for priority populations, including young
                                                       people; those living in rural and remote communities;                FOR

                                                       Our focus adapts rapidly to areas of emerging need. We have
                                                       been increasing our services in the Asia Pacific region where
                                                       reproductive and sexual health needs are great. Working with
                                                       overseas governments, NGOs and communities, our goal is to see ongoing
                                                       improvement in reproductive and sexual health policy, services and knowledge

Broadening the skill base of our staff and
capacity building
Family Planning NSW has a unique set of capabilities in
reproductive and sexual health. Over the coming years
we will focus on developing and broadening the skill base
of our staff while contributing to the development of
other professionals working in the field. We will continue
to explore the role of nurses in clinical practice and
support the expansion of their scope of practice, for
example in the provision of LARC including contraceptive
implants and IUDs. We will continue to equip our
staff to work within, and contribute to, our
international portfolio.

                                                                         IMPLEMENTATION
                                                                                                                         FRAMEWORK
                                                   Family Planning NSW has in place an effective framework to translate our plan into results. The framework
                                                   underpins the development of a shared understanding across the organisation of how our plan has been
                                                   developed, and how it will be implemented, executed and reviewed across all our strategic priority areas.
                                                   The framework is based on a logical four step process of Assess, Plan, Do, Review.
                                                   Within this framework, key actions provide a check-list of what needs to be considered at each step.
