Does your ten-year-old want to talk about sex but you just don't know where to start?
Do you think your son might be gay but you can't work out how to ask him?
Do you know someone in your community who needs advice on contraception and safe sex but you don't know who to approach?
You will find answers to all your questions about sex and sexual health in Family Planning Victoria's website Community Centre.
We are committed to helping the entire community - including indigenous people, those from other countries, from other cultures and those who have difficulties because of poor education, unemployment or disabilities.
Everybody has the right to reliable information about safe sex and contraception. FPV provides advice on sexual health to all Victorians.
If you need help or just someone to talk to about your own, your family's or your community's sexual health, contact us at Family Planning Victoria on 03 9257 0100 or contact your local Family Planning clinic. If we can't help, we'll try to find someone who can.
How to talk to kids about sex
Can you remember when you first learned about sex? Were you embarrassed, frightened and awkward, even astounded? And what about the stuff you learned from your friends - some of it was wrong, even stupid, right?
We all want it to be different for our kids, or those we care for. Here are some tips on how to give kids the information they need, when they need it.
And here is the surprise: the information in this subsection (Parenting and sexuality) is for children under 10. That may seem young, but that's when most kids are learning about sex in the playground.
So, don't be embarrassed, read on and get ready to teach your kids the "facts of life", in a way you wish you'd been taught.
