Sexual Health Victoria (formerly Family Planning Victoria) is a state-wide independent, for-purpose, all-choice organisation that focuses on reproductive and sexual health care, education and advocacy.

Sexual Health Victoria (SHV) seeks to advance sexual health literacy and build capacity through education services within the primary care and community-based systems to further support people to make decisions about their reproductive and sexual health and well-being that are right for them.

Governed by a voluntary board of directors, Sexual Health Victoria has provided services to the Victorian community for over 50 years. Playing a vital role in Victorians' reproductive and sexual health status is underscored by investment in service development, information provision, and the delivery of training and education.

Whilst partially funded by the Victorian Government, Sexual Health Victoria also generates revenue through fee-based education and training programs and the sale of resources. These funds are used to improve our services.

Sexual Health Victoria works in partnership with a range of local, regional and national organisations, including universities, Women's Health Centres and other Family Planning Organisations and is associated with the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and Family Planning Alliance Australia (FPAA).
