Formerly Family Planning, we’re now Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa. Still New Zealand’s largest provider of sexual and reproductive health services, clinics, information, advice and education. Online or in person, on a course or in a resource – we’re here to help you make decisions about your sexual health and wellbeing. Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa runs 30 permanent clinics which offer a range of sexual and reproductive health services, including contraceptive advice and prescriptions, insertion of contraceptive implants and intra uterine devices, testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, pregnancy testing and advice, and cervical screening. Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa provides early medical abortion at two of its clinics. An increasing number of services are offered via phone consultation and some, like our self-test STI service clients don’t need to see a clinician at all. We also provide clinical training and development courses for doctors, nurses, midwives and other health professionals.     We also run schools-based clinics, predominantly in high needs areas, and its health promoters operate out of 15 locations across the country. The health promoters work with schools, parents, and caregivers to lead courses on sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Since sexuality education became a compulsory component of the health curriculum in New Zealand schools in 2001, Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa has developed a range of curriculum aligned teaching resources and courses to support teachers and school staff to deliver effective SRH lessons.    Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa was awarded a government contract to provide the website, free phone number and nursing support for a national abortion telehealth service. Phase one of the service went live at the end of April 2022.    The organisation plays a key role in advocating at national and international level for legislative change to promote the right to control SRH as a fundamental human right. It is the secretariat for the New Zealand Parliamentarians Group on Population and Development, where the organisation’s expertise in delivering services to answer people’s SRH needs provides a practical grounding for policy improvements.

The Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association (SIPPA) is the leading NGO in providing Sexual & Reproductive Health & Family Planning information and services in Solomon Islands. SIPPA is a full member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). SIPPA is dedicated to supporting access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information, education and services. Adopting an integrated approach that encompasses service delivery, advocating to political and religious leaders and targeted educational campaigns, SIPPA has managed to achieve tangible results. 

Within Tonga's well-developed healthcare system and infrastructure, reproductive health (RH) services are made up of a well-defined clinical / curative component and a public health / preventative component. The government of Tonga acknowledges the crucial role played by the Tonga Family Health Association (TFHA) in the Reproductive Health Programme for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in particular the health-related MDGs 4, 5, and 6. TFHA supplies family planning (FP), maternal and child health (MCH) support, fertility and counselling assistance through 20 service points which include two permanent clinics and 15 community-based distributors (CBDs).

As the Pacific Island’s leading non-governmental organization (NGO) promoting and providing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, the Tuvalu Family Health Association (TuFHA) serves a population of 10,000 through one permanent clinic and five community-based distributors/community-based services (CBDs/CBSs). TuFHA is the only non-governmental organisation that advocates for and provides clinical services counselling in the area of sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Tuvalu. They only have one static clinic in the capital of Funafuti. The TuFHA network believes that no one should be left behind and ensures to reach all Tuvaluans, providing SRHR information and services through the outer islands outreach programs, monthly mobile clinics and activities. Moreover, TuFHA seeks to serve the vulnerable and often neglected groups in the society (underserved communities, people living with disabilities) and to provide safe spaces for these groups. Furthermore, in order to increase its reach, TuFHA collaborates and works together with stakeholders in the Ministry of Health, Gender Social Welfare department and other NGOs in the country. Central to the organisation’s work is the dissemination of SRH information to specific vulnerable and underserved communities including people living with disabilities in the childbearing age group, maritime workers and people in the correctional facilities. In addition, TUFHA has a strong network with faith-based organizations and government agencies. 

As Vanuatu's pioneering sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) organisation, VFHA is a trusted provider of SRHR services and commodities to the nation of 320,154 population (2021). It works closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to provide clinical SRH services in Port Vila & Fres Wota (Efate), Lakatoro (Santo) and remotely in Tanna. VFHA has a strong network and linkage to political and religious leaders as well as youth peer educators who support the implementation of SRH educational campaigns targeting youth and the broader community.  Sixty-three per cent of the population are youths and VFHA responds to the youth needs, especially on sexuality education and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. Vanuatu has high static fertility and high teenage fertility rates, rising rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and low rates of contraceptive prevalence. About 76 per cent of the population lives in rural areas, making access to reproductive health services difficult and expensive. Cultural barriers add to the difficulty of accessing services and hinder women & girls, LGBTIQ persons, persons living with a disability and stigmatize people living with HIV/AIDS from accessing the same. VFHA believes in adequate and accessible healthcare for all and continues to advocate and provide services to the people regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, belief and disability. We refrain from profiling clients with harmful stereotype. Instead, we serve all clients with respect of their bodily autonomy and client-friendly clinical health support. The Association is also the leading NGO on the provision of SRHR services during the Post Cyclone Winston Response which has devastated the lives of many people in the Republic of Vanuatu. The Association had a cornerstone impact in the lives of many especially during the Cyclone Winston Response, where lives were touched by our VFHA team trailing through rural and remote areas on the island of Santo for service provision.  The Association believes in making a difference, even more - a positive impact on the lives of the people we served, and it is established for this sole purpose and mission.

The Vietnam Family Planning Association (VINAFPA) complements and supplements the Vietnamese government’s family planning programme, by providing direct services and information, education and communication (IEC) programmes. Over recent years, the country has experienced falling levels of fertility and reduced maternal and child mortality. VINAFPA has played a vital role in delivering these improvements. The organization runs over 1,350 distinct service points, including: 19 permanent clinics, 21 mobile facilities and a ground force of over 1,200 community-based distributors (CBDs). These CBDs are VINAFPA-trained individuals, living in a particular locality, who distribute supplies and offer advice and information. The intensity and impact of their work is borne out by the numbers. Currently, the unmet need for contraception rate runs at 5%, but VINAFPA is working hard to improve this.
