PRESIDENT’S REPORT 

As FPWA moves into the third and final year of its current 

strategic plan, it is appropriate that this year’s Annual Report 

looks at the ways in which the organisation remains focused 

on pursuing key strategic goals, as well as working with 

priority populations. A review of the report shows that the 

hard work of staff is a key component in positioning FPWA 

to respond to and serve the community’s needs, and I would 

like to commend all staff for their ongoing commitment to 

the provision of such excellent services. 

While the Annual Report demonstrates the many ways FPWA 

continues as a leader in the development and provision of

DR MARILYN CLARK-MURPHY 

FPWA PRESIDENT 

sexual and reproductive health services across WA, my report 

will concentrate on FPWA’s involvement in efforts to promote 

sexual health at a national level. 

FPWA has been a member of Sexual Health and Family 

Planning Australia (SH&FPA) since 1974. SH&FPA’s goal is to 

promote and advocate for sexual health and sexual rights 

both in Australia and overseas. I continue to represent FPWA 

as a member of the SH&FPA Council, currently serving as 

Vice-President, while FPWA’s CEO is part of the SH&FPA 

National CEOs Forum. 

As well as giving the organisation a strong national voice, 

one of the main benefits FPWA derives from its SH&FPA 

membership is the opportunity for key staff to network 

with their counterparts in other States. The professional 

groups of SH&FPA include the CEOs Forum, Senior Medical 

Officers, Nurses and Education Managers. These networks 

allow member organisations to liaise with one other, share 

resources and work on projects collaboratively. Any project 

that involves three or more member organisations has been 

identified as one that should come under the umbrella of 

SH&FPA. 

In early 2011 SH&FPA signed a new three-year funding 

agreement with the Federal Government. This agreement 

includes a significant increase in SH&FPA’s annual funding, 

and will put the organisation on a sound financial footing 

to expand its operations. The contract focuses on four key 

components that SH&FPA, with input from its members 

organisations, will co-ordinate: to strengthen and expand 

sectorial and cross-sectorial national networks in the area of 

sexual and reproductive health; improve access and equality 

for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People in sexual and 

reproductive health care and health promotion; strengthen 

and increase workforce capacity in sexual and reproductive 

health; and assist in bridging the gap between research 

findings, service delivery and appropriate development 

of national policy and program activity in sexual and 

reproductive health. 

SH&FPA’s international program currently focuses on southeast 

Asia and the Pacific. Historically SH&FPA has delivered 

sexual health programmes in various locations, including 

Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, with these 

programmes funded primarily by AusAid. However, the 

SH&FPA Council recently decided that, as in the national 

arena, progamme delivery should be the province of State 

organisations. SH&FPA will therefore be moving out of its 

current delivery contracts when they expire next year to 

focus on promotion and advocacy. This will give SH&FPA 

a more consistent role and voice in both the national and 

international arenas. 

Finally, I would like to personally thank Board members 

for their continued support and commitment to FPWA, 

and I look forward to working with our funding agencies, 

managers, staff and other stakeholders over the coming year.

CEO’S REPORT 

STEPHEN BLACKWELL 

FPWA CEO 

Welcome to FPWA’s Annual Report for 2010/11. It gives me 

great pride to reflect on the work of this vibrant organisation 

over the last 12 months. As we near the end of our current 

strategic plan, this year’s report provides an update on work 

completed towards the five goals of the Strategic Plan for 

2009/12: 

Developing strategic alliances for affective 

service delivery 

FPWA continues to identify strategic alliances that 

enhance sexual and reproductive health services offered 

to Western Australians. It is acknowledged that FPWA is 

not able to provide direct service delivery to everyone in 

the State, however our ongoing relationships with tertiary 

institutions ensures that most health professionals receive 

undergraduate and post-graduate training in sexual and 

reproductive health. The organisation is currently revising 

how it provides support and training to teachers to ensure 

that they have the skills and knowledge to provide sexual 

and reproductive health education in schools. The outcome 

of this strategy shift will see school students in Western 

Australia provided with a comprehensive, age-appropriate 

sexual and reproductive health curriculum, resulting 

in improvements in their sexual health knowledge and 

accompanying decision-making. 

of FPWA’s iconic programs, Mooditj and PASH, continue to 

be viewed as “must do” programs for community members/ 

peer educators who want to undertake sexuality education 

in their communities. 

FPWA continues to work with community organisations 

such as Midland Women’s Health Care Place, South Coastal 

Women’s Health Services and Divisions of General Practice. 

This model will be modified in the near future to ensure that 

when FPWA provides clinical or other services, it will only do 

so if building the capacity of our partner is a major outcome 

of the collaboration. 

Constantly apply evaluation mechanisms across all 

services 

FPWA undertook significant evaluations of its Aboriginal 

Educator and Magenta projects during 2010/11. Results 

from these evaluations were not available at the time of 

reporting, however it is anticipated that the outcomes will 

assist FPWA to modify these projects to better achieve their 

identified outcomes. All new projects now have evaluation 

built into their proposals and budget, and staff recognise 

that program evaluation is essential quality improvement. 

Have a clear research focus 

5 

Community education, especially for Aboriginal Western 

Australians and young people, has benefitted greatly from 

FPWA’s capacity building of community members to deliver 

best practice sexual and reproductive health education. Two 

In late 2009 FPWA employed a part-time Research 

Coordinator for the first time. A Research Committee was 

also convened to assist in establishing a research agenda

for the organisation. The committee meets monthly and 

has been instrumental in assisting the co-ordinator to 

identify research opportunities, possible research partners 

and funding streams. The projects that are currently being 

developed include investigating the sexual and reproductive 

health knowledge and health-seeking behaviour of 

international students studying at universities in Western 

Australia, and identifying the sexual health knowledge and 

behaviours of older Western Australians. A research proposal 

has been completed for first project, and one is currently 

being drafted for the second. 

Forming strategic alliances with other research-oriented 

institutions is proving more problematic, with competition 

for research dollars high and research institutions not keen 

to share their funding sources, in addition to being busy with 

their own existing research activity. FPWA continues to have 

discussions with Curtin and Edith Cowan Universities, Family 

Planning New South Wales and Shine SA to discuss possible 

research partnerships in the future. 

Become an employer of choice 

FPWA has always strived to be an employer of choice. The 

need for this originates in the fact that FPWA is a not-forprofit, 

non-government organisation. Historically, funding 

for these types of organisations results in staff wages 

that are not commensurate with the public sector - to 

compensate, NGOs tend to be more inclusive, consultative 

and family-friendly, which is certainly the case for FPWA. 

The organisation also encourages and assists in payment for 

continuing professional development. 

These strategies, although not always useful in attracting 

new staff, especially in the boom economy of Western 

Australia, are usually effective in retaining existing staff. An 

added bonus to these strategies is the recent announcement 

by the Western Australian Government that base funding 

to the third sector in Western Australia will increase by 15% 

from 1 July 2011. This government initiative, plus existing 

interventions identified in the current strategic plan, should 

result in FPWA becoming an employer of choice. 

Identify and document intellectual capital and 

knowledge 

This goal is progressing slowly, with a major impediment 

to achievement being the lack of recognized best practice 

standards within the organisation. FPWA has commenced 

a literature review of best practice standards, and once 

this review is finalized, will identify the best process for 

the organisation. It is anticipated that by the end of 2012, 

FPWA will have implemented best practice standards for 

documentation and version control across the agency. 

I look forward to continuing to work with staff over the 

coming year towards attainment of these strategic goals.

NORTHBRIDGE 

CLINICAL SERVICES 

“ ” 

FPWA Sexual Health Services provides clinical services to 

both men and women of all ages. 

11

NORTHBRIDGE CLINICAL SERVICES 

12 

FPWA continued to offer clinical consultations 

on a wide range of sexual health issues for 

both men and women, as well as providing 

professional development for general 

practitioners and nurses wanting to update 

their skills and knowledge in the areas of 

sexuality and sexual health. Due to popular 

demand, clinics on Thursday evenings and 

Saturday mornings continued to run, offering 

a wide range of appointment times for clients. 

Run by Northbridge Clinical Services, the Sexual 

Health Helpline (SHH) is a confidential telephone 

information service staffed by Advanced Practice 

Nurses (APNs). The service is funded by the 

Department of Health WA’s Sexual Health and 

Blood-borne Virus Program, and is accessed by 

health professionals and community members via 

phone and email. 

Develop strategic alliances for effective 


Northbridge Clinical Services remained a 

part of the PAP Smear Credentialing Advisory 

Committee, and continued to nurture partnerships 

with tertiary educational institutions. Working 

relationships were maintained with three private 

termination clinics (Marie Stopes International, 

Nanyara Pregnancy and Termination Clinic, and 

The Women’s Clinic), and alliances between 

specialist outpatient clinics at major hospitals were 

strengthened. 

Clinic facilities continued to be leased to private 

medical practitioners running colposcopy and 

Implanon clinics, ensuring that FPWA clients 

were able to access to these services in a timely 

manner. FPWA continued to provide Midland 

Women’s Health Care Place with APN support 

to run its Well Women’s Clinic, and a successful 

collaboration between FPWA and KEMH saw the 

ongoing success of the contraception clinic at 

King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) staffed by 

FPWA doctors. 

Clinical staff continued to provide capacitybuilding 

education and training to health 

professionals in the community on topics such 

as intrauterine devices, Implanon and nonhormonal 

contraception, and participated in 

ongoing meetings between the Cancer Council 

Western Australia, BreastScreen WA, KEMH and the 

Reproductive Technology Council. A workshop was 

also run for GP Practice Nurses on ‘Sexual health in 

general practice; learn all about sexual health and 

how to educate your patients’. 

Northbridge Clinical Services continued to provide 

clinical supervision and peer support to trainees 

and clinicians wishing to update their skills in a 

supportive environment. A new agreement saw 

the SHH after hours service redirected to Health 

Direct in order to offer clients access to a 24-hour 

health advice service. 

Discussions commenced between Northbridge 

Clinical Services, the People 1st Programme and 

DADAA (a disability and arts organisation) around 

developing a ‘Sexuality Awareness’ art program. 

The aim of the program is to promote the safety 

and wellbeing of clients with a disability through

13 

the medium of art, the results of which will 

hopefully be exhibited in the Clinic. 

Consistently apply evaluation 

mechanisms across all services 

Feedback from the annual clinic client satisfaction 

survey was positive. Clients were given a onepage 

questionnaire by reception staff which was 

completed at the end of their appointment. The 

main concern noted was the limited availability of 

appointments, and discussions have commenced 

on how to address this issue, along with increasing 

clinics for men. 

Following on from student and clinician feedback, 

changes were made to the Graduate Nurse 

program this year. The program has now been 

lengthened to 12 months (previously three), with 

the extended time allowing nurses to further 

consolidate their training and develop their 

confidence and skills to a more independent level 

that they can use in their own practice in the 

community. 

The annual SHH client satisfaction survey process 

was changed this year due to previous low uptake 

numbers. In earlier years clients calls have been 

answered by the bookings line, then put through 

to the SHH and finally returned to the bookings 

line which was often engaged or busy. Re-routing 

clients to the clinic administration officer meant 

calls were able to be answered straight away, 

thereby reducing the delay and chain of calls for 

the client. On evaluation, these changes appear 

to have been effective, increasing the number of 

clients participating in the survey from 6% to 22%, 

and reporting overall satisfaction with the service. 


A nurse clinician and the Medical Director 

continued their close involvement with the FPWA 

Research Committee. 

Northbridge Clinical Services continued to support 

the WHINERS (Womens Human Papilloma Virus 

Indigenous non Indigenous Urban Rural Study) 

project implemented by the Royal Women’s 

Hospital in Victoria and Family Planning Victoria, 

which is looking at the prevalence of HPV among 

women under the age of 26. 


A number of measures were implemented this 

year to improve communication among staff, and 

clinicians now have significant involvement in 

developing changes related to clinical matters. The 

introduction of an online medical records system 

has given staff the opportunity to engage in new 

technologies and accompanying training, and has 

further opened lines of communication in the form 

of intra mail, which is well utilised by clinicians. 

External educational opportunities continued 

to be offered to clinical staff in a variety of areas. 

Clinical Services continued to work closely 

with the recently appointed FPWA Research 

Coordinator, and, if appropriate, will partner with 

external agencies undertaking research into sexual 

and reproductive health.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING SERVICES 

16 

The past year has been a busy one for 

Education and Training Services. The demand 

for education programs, in particular Mooditj 

Leader Training and the Certificate courses for 

nurses, continued to be strong, and the unit 

overcame challenges due to staff shortages 

to meet all its commitments, as well as make 

progress in working together more effectively 

as a team. 



For many years workforce development has been 

the primary focus of the work of the Education 

and Training Unit, with its commitment to 

capacity building and an asset-based community 

development approach increasing over the 

last few years. Working in partnership with key 

agencies and networks is now fundamental to 

the unit’s work, and in particular is a cornerstone 

of both the Pilbara Project and Supporting Assets 

through Partnerships Project (SAPP). 

In the Pilbara, this partnership activity is primarily 

negotiated through the Local Advisory Groups of 

key service providers in each of the West Pilbara 

and Western Desert regions. A major achievement 

over the last year has been the negotiation 

and implementation of a Memorandum of 

Understanding with Puntukurnu Aboriginal 

Medical Service (PAMS) to address sexual health 

issues in Western Desert communities. One activity 

conducted through this partnership was a project 

for Youth Week (April) involving health checks and 

STI screening during the day, and sexual health 

promotion activities in the evening, delivered in 

Jigalong, Parngurr and Punmu communities in the 

Western Desert. The FPWA male Senior Aboriginal 

Educator (an experienced Aboriginal Health 

Worker with skills in STI testing) joined PAMS staff 

to work with the men in the communities. 

The SAPP has established a number of significant 

alliances this year. A partnership with the Youth 

Affairs Council of WA (YACWA) was formed to 

establish a truly youth-focused Sexual Health 

Forum. This built on the existing relationship 

Education and Training Services has with YACWA 

through participation in its YEP (Youth Educating 

Peers) Project Reference Group. A productive 

collaboration with the Indigenous Health Info Net 

assisted with the development of the WA Sexual 

Health Network (WASHN) website. 

As well as the regular Perth-based courses, Mooditj 

Leader Training was delivered in Albany and 

Geraldton in partnership with Great Southern 

Aboriginal Health Services and Carnarvon Medical 

Services Aboriginal Corporation respectively. 

Delivery of regional training programs is 

now always undertaken in collaboration with 

experienced local sexual health educators and 

service providers working in key agencies in the 

region. These workers are then able to provide 

ongoing support to newly-trained participants, 

leading to more sustainable delivery of quality 

sexual health education in the region. 

The schools team has continued to work 

collaboratively across the education sector, 

contributing to the reference group for the 

review of the Health Department of WA’s Growing 

and Developing Healthy Relationships (GDHR) 

website and the development of GDHR online 

professional training. FPWA also hosted a 

Supporting Sexual Health in Schools Network

17 

meeting where professional development for 

teachers was the main topic discussed. 

The difficulty of working with young people 

around the issue of consent to sexual activity has 

been identified from a review of the program 

FPWA delivers for young people in detention. 

An effective interagency collaboration to share 

research and ideas, and develop strategies and 

resources to address this issue, has involved 

YACWA, Sexual Assault Resource Centre, Aboriginal 

Legal Service, Metropolitan Migrant Resource 

Centre and the WA AIDS Council. 

In addition to the Certificate in Sexual and 

Reproductive Health courses in Perth, Nurse 

Education has delivered three Pap Smear Provider 

Courses, in partnership with the Midwest GP 

Network, Osborne Division of General Practice and 

Kimberley Population Health Unit. The partnership 

with the Midwest GP Network was particularly 

effective, as FPWA was also engaged to provide 

clinical supervision in Geraldton. Providing 

this clinical supervision within the nurses’ own 

workplaces was found to have a number of 

advantages, including building the capacity of the

DEVELOPED BY THE PILBARA PROJECT. 

practices to promote sexual health. One example 

was the opportunity to assist other staff at one 

agency to feel more comfortable in offering 

women an opportunistic STI test as part of their 

planned healthy women’s day, through sharing a 

short list of suggested opening questions. 

Clinical Education brought new partnerships to 

the Education and Training Unit this year, one 

being a collaboration with the Royal Australian 

College of General Practitioners (RACGP) over 

a period of six months which resulted in the 

development of a weekend workshop for GPs in 

Reproductive Health. This was held in late May, 

with three FPWA doctors providing workshops, 

and proved to be very popular. 



The Education and Training Unit is committed 

to regular evaluation of all programs and 

projects, and this year formalised the procedure 

for undertaking standard process evaluation. 

Feedback from participants is collected routinely,

18 

and facilitators document their reflections after 

each day of all programs. Participant feedback and 

facilitator reflection is analysed and informs the 

program report and recommendations written 

after each program. This report is then submitted 

to the program coordinator for the ongoing review 

and quality improvement of that program. 

As well as this ongoing commitment to regular 

process evaluation of all programs discussed 

above, this year the Education and Training Unit 

undertook major impact evaluations of two of its 

programs: the Aboriginal Educator Program (AEP) 

and the pilot Swan District Mooditj Project (SDMP). 

The AEP provides employment and on-the-job 

development of skills as a sexual health educator 

for both a male and female Aboriginal person for 

two years. The external evaluation of the AEP was 

commissioned by the Department of Health WA’s 

Sexual Health and Blood-borne Virus Program, 

who have also provided the funding for the 

program since its inception in 2001. 

Approval for the evaluation was obtained from 

the WA Aboriginal Health Information and Ethics 

Committee. Past participants and other key 

stakeholders in the program were interviewed, 

and information acquired from program materials, 

quarterly progress reviews, workshop participant 

feedback forms and reports lodged with the 

Department of Health WA over the period of the 

program. A separate literature review of best 

practice was also conducted. 

The evaluation reported on the areas of 

teaching and learning strategies, recruitment, 

implementation issues and program impact, 

concluding that: 

In summary the AEP is a flexible, responsive and 

pedagogically sound programme that contributes 

to the achievement of numerous positive outcomes. 

It has filled critical gaps identified a decade ago 

when the programme was instigated. Comment 

upon those aspects of the AEP which might possibly 

be unique or crucial to providing a ‘best practice’ 

programme is provided in a separate literature 

review report completed as part of this evaluation. 

The very positive evaluation also provided 

recommendations for the future of the AEP. It is 

hoped funding for the program is renewed to 

allow for the continuation and improvement of 

the AEP, as the program is a vital part of FPWA’s 

capacity to work with Aboriginal people to 

promote sexual health and well-being. 

Another significant program evaluation conducted 

over the last year was in relation to the pilot 

SDMP. This project was developed in partnership 

with the Aboriginal Education Team at the Swan 

District Education Office. It involved trialling the 

training and support of teachers and Aboriginal 

and Islander Education Officers (AIEOs) in each 

of five primary schools with a high proportion 

of Aboriginal students to jointly run a Mooditj 

program for their Year 7 students in 2010. 

Comprehensive feedback was collected from the 

teachers, AIEOs and other school staff involved 

following the training, and also during and after 

the implementation of their Mooditj program for 

students. An external evaluator has been engaged 

to complete the analysis of this information, as 

well as to undertake further impact evaluation 

as the schools plan and deliver Mooditj again 

this year. It is anticipated that the findings of this

19 

evaluation will result in recommendations for 

the future of this or similar Mooditj programs 

in primary schools with a significant number of 

Aboriginal students. 


Despite a variety of staffing challenges this year, 

the Education and Training Unit has achieved 

considerable progress towards the completion of 

a Team Charter. The Charter articulates the team’s 

vision, purpose, core values and guiding principles, 

as well as the strategic priorities and plans for both 

external programs and internal team function. 

This has been a slow process, undertaken at the 

same time as maintaining required outputs with 

reduced staff availability. It has however been 

very worthwhile, with team members reporting 

an increase in commitment to its purpose and 

improvement in their ability to work as an effective 

team. 

Regular learning opportunities are scheduled, 

and staff given encouragement as well as 

generous staff development leave and funding 

to undertake professional development activities 

and further studies. One notable example was 

the participation of an AEP Educator in a six-week 

Community Development Project in Vanuatu. 

Identify and document intellectual capital 

and knowledge 

Progress on this important goal has been slow 

but steady, with procedures to maintain the 

integrity of key documents instituted. These 

have included saving master documents as readonly, 

and improving version control procedures. 

Documentation of all courses is already quite 

comprehensive, with the updated procedures 

enabling access to the most recent versions of the 

documents. 

An orientation manual for staff delivering 

education programs in juvenile detention centres 

has been completed, and updating of the Educator 

Handbook, a practical guide to procedures for the 

Education and Training Unit, is well underway. 

Competencies for educators at Level 3 through 

to Level 6 were documented in 2007; work has 

commenced on identifying assessment criteria to 

make the process of assessment of core educator 

competencies more transparent. 

Each project has updated their documentation 

and procedures. For example, SAPP has developed 

an Expression of Interest Form, with accompanying 

register and procedure, to capture the information 

required from external agencies requesting 

training. This assists in identifying the strengths 

and resources in the local area and facilitates the 

timely assessment of the capacity of SAPP and 

the Education and Training Unit to support the 

delivery of appropriate training and support.

We offer support, health services, education and 

information to those involved in the sex industry.

Magenta and Street Worker Outreach Project Western Australia (SWOPWA) 

22 

Despite a difficult start to the year, both in terms 

of staff recruitment and maintaining contact 

with sex workers, Magenta and SWOPWA are 

now operating at full capacity, focusing on reestablishing 

relationships with individuals and 

sex industry establishments, and providing 

information, support and referrals. A recent 

move to larger premises has proved positive, 

and provided the opportunity to review 

resources and improve service efficiency. 



The Related Services Group, which brings 

together organisations in contact with sex 

workers, continues to be convened by Magenta 

and SWOPWA, and provides an opportunity to 

share resources, information and service delivery 

strategies. 

Magenta renewed a relationship with Kalgoorlie 

Population Health this year, which saw the sexual 

health coordinator accompany Magenta staff on 

outreach and receive an introduction to parlours. 

This strategy provided the opportunity to offer 

STI testing for workers at parlours and private 

premises, and proved to be a great success. 

Magenta and SWOPWA have been contact 

throughout the year with Scarlet Alliance, the 

national sex worker organisation, about the 

draft Prostitution Bill 2011, ensuring that WA sex 

workers have access to current information about 

the proposed legislation changes. 

Magenta staff are in regular contact with 

management of sex industry establishments, 

offering in-house education and information and 

safe sex supplies. A phone and outreach campaign 

has been established to extend Magenta’s reach 

beyond the parlours with which contact is already 

in existence, and into premises not currently 

visited by Magenta. 



The Sexual Health and Blood-borne Virus Program 

of the Department of Health WA contracted the 

Burnet Institute to conduct a review of public 

health programs and services aimed at the 

prevention and control of HIV and other STIs 

among sex workers in WA. FPWA and Magenta 

staff were members of the Advisory Group to 

the researchers, with objectives of the review 

including: 

• Describe the sex worker industry in WA and describe 

trends of HIV/STIs among sex workers using available 

data sources; 

• Identify the determinants of health care seeking 

behaviour among sex workers in WA and 

identify gaps in service provision and barriers to 

implementation of STI and BBV prevention and 

control initiatives; 

• Assess the extent to which recommended actions 

and guiding principles have been implemented and 

adopted, specifically with relation to sex workers and 

BBV and STI prevention within WA’s strategies and 

plans, and assess their appropriateness to the current 

context; and 

• Make recommendations on delivering preventive 

services to sex workers in urban and rural settings. 

Results of the review are forthcoming.

PEOPLE 1ST PROGRAMME 

“ ” 

Supporting people with an intellectual disability in human 

relationships, protective education and sexuality. 

24

PEOPLE 1ST PROGRAMME 

The People 1st Programme (PIP) works 

alongside people with an intellectual 

disability and their parents, carers, and service 

providers in human sexuality, consensual 

adult relationships and protective education. 

PIP is funded through the Disability Services 

Commission, with services available in the Perth 

metropolitan area and some regional parts of the 

State. This year PIP delivered one to one sessions 

to 330 clients in Northbridge, Bunbury, Busselton, 

Manjimup and Albany. 

PIP renewed its service contract with 

Commonwealth Care Respite Service, enabling the 

program to secure funding for parents attending 

parent workshops, with those registered paid for 

by the provider. 

Members were recruited this year for the new 

Disability Reference Group. Currently comprising 

service users and volunteers, with parents to be 

targeted in the near future, this group will review 

the current services delivered and provide input 

into future service delivery models. 

25 

In line with the Carers Recognition Act, PIP 

continued to deliver teaching sessions to parents 

and carers. 



New alliances were formed this year with care 

providers who deliver services to older people 

with an intellectual disability and where sexuality 

is an issue. A series of workshops have been 

designed to support these services.

26 

PIP delivered school programmes to students aged 

12-19 years at the following schools: 

• Corpus Christi Catholic College 

• Duncraig Educational Support Centre 

• La Salle Catholic College 

• Atwell Senior High School Educational Support 

Centre 

• Leeming Senior High School Education Support 

Centre 

• Career Enterprise Centre Mandurah 

• Cannington Community College Education Support 

Centre 

• Rockingham senior High School Educational Support 

Centre 

• Seven Oakes College 

• Newman Catholic College 

• East Fremantle Senior High School 

In conjunction with Information Services, PIP 

developed a brochure covering step-by-step 

instructions for condom use. Many schools have 

now been trained to teach this skill to students 

prior to them leaving school. 



PIP developed new client and parent/carer 

satisfaction tools this year, along with a service 

provider feedback questionnaire. The pilot use of 

the review tools has been completed and a review 

planned. In addition to this, a further audit tool has 

been drafted and implemented to gain feedback 

on current service standards, responses to which 

will be evaluated in the coming year. 


PIP recently completed a literature review related 

to high-risk behaviours and individuals with an 

intellectual disability. This now forms part of the 

final project evaluation for the Manjimup project, 

which ended in April. 


and knowledge 

All PIP’s education work is now formulated 

into individual modules, with session aims and 

objectives, lesson plans and educators notes 

included to standardise service delivery. To 

ensure that knowledge is up to date, accurate and 

evidence-based, one educator reviews modules 

with the team on an annual basis.

INFORMATION SERVICES 

“ ” 

Providing public relations, events and health promotion, library and 

bookshop, publications, graphic design and website management. 

28

INFORMATION SERVICES 

29 

Operating as an integrated team, Information 

Services continued to provide internal and 

external services this year including public 

relations, events and health promotion, library 

and bookshop, publications, graphic design 

and website management. The team had a 

productive and challenging year developing 

several new resources, introducing social 

media as a marketing and communication tool, 

and employing innovative online strategies 

to disseminate information and engage with 

service providers and community members. 



Information Services staff convened an advisory 

committee of eight CaLD service providers to 

assist in the development of new multicultural 

resources funded by the Department of Health WA. 

Covering women’s health issues and sexual activity 

and the law, the new resources are available in 

nine languages and are particularly suitable for 

newly-arrived migrants and humanitarian entrants. 

Existing partnerships with CaLD service providers 

were strengthened, with these organisations keen 

to continue assisting FPWA in providing safer sex 

messages to minority groups and be involved in 

future collaborative projects. 

This year FPWA’s major health promotion 

campaign, National Condom Day, focused on 

people with a disability, a strategy which allowed 

for the development of new relationships with 

disability service providers, and offered an 

opportunity to promote library services and 

organisational publications. 

Health promotion staff maintained relationships 

with event organisers at a variety of community 

events and health expos. Interactive stalls were 

held as part of NAIDOC Week, Homeless Persons’ 

Week, Pride Fairday, Harmony Week, the Big Day 

Out music festival and health expos at eight 

educational institutions. 

The FPWA Library implemented a creative model 

of service delivery by utilising social media sites 

Twitter and Facebook to promote news and events 

and share articles of interest with target groups. 

This also allowed for the creation of networks with 

other service providers, including those in rural 

and remote communities. 



Feedback from FPWA’s disability unit, the People 

1st Programme, was the foundation for planning 

National Condom Day on February 14th. The 

campaign focussed on various minority groups, 

including people with a disability, people with 

lower literacy levels and people with a first 

language other than English, after feedback 

showed information for these groups lacking. 

FPWA developed a basic-language condom pack 

and brochure about condom use with realistic 

illustrations. The 42 organisations requesting 

resources were asked for comment via an online 

evaluation feedback form, which showed the 

resources were positively received and appropriate 

for the target audience. 

Launched in August 2010 with funding from the

30 

Department of Health WA, the redeveloped FPWA 

website has been well-received. Based on visitor 

feedback, the site was made more accessible and 

user-friendly. New sections include a separatebranded 

template for youth pages and blog 

posts. An online satisfaction survey allows users to 

continue to provide feedback about functionality 

of the site. Additional funding was used to add 67 

new sexual health DVDs to the library collection, 

after client feedback indicated they were unable to 

use old VHS versions. 

Convened by Information Services, the FPWA 

Publications Committee continued to review 

and reprint a number of information sheets and 

brochures during 2010/11. Committee members 

evaluated current resources and incorporated 

client and agency feedback to ensure the 

information, language and graphics were suitable 

for the target audiences. FPWA clinicians and 

education staff also identified the need for new 

resources on male genital health and cyber safety, 

which are in the initial stages of development. 

Four editions of FPWA’s quarterly e-newsletter 

were distributed to over 300 subscribers, with 

the email distribution service used reporting an 

above-average open rate. Feedback about the 

newsletter continued to be positive. 


The FPWA Library collated new research on the 

sexual and reproductive health of FPWA’s priority 

populations throughout the year, identifying and 

distributing the latest findings through online 

social media and FPWA’s enewsletter. 

FPWA continued to respond to media requests, 

commenting on recent research to increase public 

awareness about sexual and reproductive health 

issues. 


Professional development remained a high 

priority this year, with staff attending various 

training workshops and seminars to further their 

knowledge and skills.

Information Services continued to take copyright 

permission requests for materials produced by 

FPWA through the online form available on the

Quary Health Centre for Under 25s provides clinical, counselling 

and education services to young people in the metropolitan area. 

32

QUARRY HEALTH CENTRE 

33 

Quarry Health Centre in Fremantle continued 

to provide a range of youth-friendly sexual 

health services during 2010/11. Nearly 

4,000 young people under 25 years of 

age engaged with Quarry staff via clinical 

and counselling appointments, and inhouse 

and outreach education sessions. 



Quarry continued to work alongside a number of 

key youth and social service professional partners 

in related fields, including SMYL (South Metro 

Youth Link), the B2 Clinic at Fremantle Hospital, 

SARC (Sexual Assault Resource Centre), Headspace, 

St Patrick’s Youth Service, the City of Fremantle and 

local high schools. These partnerships allow for the 

sharing of resources and information and the cofacilitation 

of sessions and ongoing programs, as 

well as strengthening referral networks for young 

people. 

In conjunction with the WA AIDS Council, Quarry 

staff developed and distributed a postcard for 

school leavers promoting Quarry’s services and 

offering young people a free membership. 

Quarry staff formed part of the YEP (Youth 

Educating Peers project for the Youth Affairs 

Council of Western Australia) reference group 

and the YEP media guidelines working party, 

with the aim of developing a set of guidelines 

to be used by WA media when reporting on 

issues pertaining to youth sexuality and sexual 

health. Staff also worked collaboratively with 

the South Metropolitan Public Health Unit to 

identify and develop strategies to encourage 

young Indigenous people to access sexual health 

services. 

Preliminary work commenced with Relationships 

Australia and Mooditj Yarning to develop an 

Indigenous young people’s life skills program, and 

a relationship was established with DAYS (Drug 

and Alcohol Youth Service) to build capacity for 

ongoing work with drug affected young people. 



Quarry’s evaluation form continues to be used to 

collate feedback from young people accessing 

services, with staff encouraged to ask clients for 

feedback after clinical and education sessions. An 

anonymous suggestion box in Quarry’s waiting 

room provides an additional means for clients 

to comment on and provide suggestions about 

services, with the information received then used 

to improve services to further meet the needs of 

young people. 


Quarry worked with SMYL this year to provide 

support to an Indigenous trainee through its 

school-based traineeship program. 

Quarry staff implemented an internal recycling 

system, as well as utilising FPWA’s recycling policy 

for the disposal of printer and toner cartridges. 

Staff are also strongly supported and encouraged 

to attend professional development opportunities.

ROE STREET CENTRE 

FOR HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS 

“ ” 

The Roe Street Centre is a specialist counselling 

service in relationship and sexual health issues. 

35

ROE STREET CENTRE 

36 

The Roe St Centre for human relationships, 

FPWA’s specialist counselling service, employs 

six part-time counsellors who come from a 

variety of professional backgrounds including 

social work, psychology, nursing and 

psychotherapy. All counsellors are accredited 

by their respective professional bodies, and 

offer short and long-term sessions covering 

all areas of sexual and reproductive health. 

The Centre also provides individual and group 

supervision, training services and consultancy 

to internal units and external professionals. 

The Roe St Centre provided a total of 655 

counselling appointments to 404 clients during 

2010/11. The majority of counselling sessions 

were for relationship issues, particularly those 

pertaining to sexuality. 

Counsellors also provide unplanned pregnancy 

and post termination counselling appointments 

which are subsidised by the Women and Newborn 

Health Service of Western Australia. Four sessions 

are available to clients and their significant others, 

with telephone counselling offered for clients in 

rural and remote areas. 



In 2008 the Women and Newborn Health Service 

funded the development of a three-day training 

course for health professionals on the provision of 

non-directive unplanned pregnancy counselling. 

The aim of the course is to equip practitioners with 

best practice knowledge and skills in providing 

non-directive unplanned pregnancy counselling 

to women, their partners and significant others. 

The course was delivered for the first time in 

late 2010, and was offered free of charge to 

18 participants from a range of backgrounds 

including psychologists, counsellors, community 

nurses, school nurses, youth workers and social 

workers from metropolitan and country locations. 

The delivery of such training ensures that the 

provision of non-directive unplanned pregnancy 

counselling is more widely available to women, 

their partners and significant others throughout 

Western Australia. 

The Roe St Centre also provides a regular 

placement for a Masters student in Counselling 

and Psychotherapy. This also ensures that some 

new graduates have a broad knowledge and skillbase 

for the provision of sexual and reproductive 

health counselling in the community. Both these 

initiatives help build the capacity of clinicians 

working in their communities to provide highquality 

services to their community members. 


mechanisms 

All Roe St Centre clients are offered the 

opportunity to give feedback on services received 

through the provision of a feedback form and prepaid 

envelope, allowing them to return completed 

forms anonymously. Although the return rate 

of completed forms is low (11%), the feedback 

received remains very positive. 

Evaluation of the three-day unplanned pregnancy 

counselling course demonstrated that the

course was well-designed and delivered, and 

met the expectations of those attending. Upon 

completion of the training, course facilitators 

reviewed all evaluations and made changes to the 

program as appropriate. 



and knowledge 

All documents relating to the three-day 

unplanned pregnancy training course have been 

saved on FPWA’s central computing system, and 

have version control applied if modified. 

This year the Roe St Centre offered a practical 

placement to an undergraduate Health Promotion 

student from Curtin University. The student 

completed 100 hours, using the time to draft 

a research report on best practice policy and 

guidelines for managing sexual abuse, and 

highlighted the risk of vicarious trauma for 

workers in this area. The report will underpin 

FPWA’s development of guidelines on how to 

prevent vicarious trauma and support staff who 

are recipient of disclosures of sexual abuse, which 

is a major concern for staff working in the field of 

sexual and reproductive health.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 

Note 1: Statement of Accounting Policies 

This financial report is a special purpose financial 

report prepared for use by the members of the 

Association. The Board has determined that the 

Association is not a reporting entity. 

The financial statements have been prepared 

in accordance with the following Australian 

Accounting Standards and other mandatory 

professional reporting requirements: 

AASB1031: Materiality 

AASB110: Events Occurring After Reporting Date 

AASB107: Statement of Cash Flows 

No other Australian Accounting Standards, 

Australian Accounting Interpretations or other 

authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 

Accounting Standards Board have been applied. 

The financial statements are prepared on an 

accruals basis. They are based on historic costs and 

do not take into account changing money values, or 

except where specifically stated, current valuations 

of non-current assets. 

The following specific accounting policies, which 

are consistent with the previous period unless 

otherwise stated, have been adopted in the 

preparation of these financial statements. 

A) Depreciation 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost 

of each non-current asset over its expected useful 

life. 

B) Inventories 

All inventories are valued at the lower of cost and 

net realisable value. 

C) Long Service Leave 

Employees are entitled to long service leave on 

completion of each period of seven years or ten 

years of service depending on date of appointment 

as an employee. The Association accrues, in full, 

all long service liability to which employees are 

presently entitled. In addition, provision has been 

made for a proportion of long service leave for 

employees who have served less than seven or ten 

years.

Note 9: Deed Of Trust 

In 1998 a capital grant of $500,000 was provided 

by LotteryWest to assist with the purchase of 

the property at 70 Roe Street, Northbridge. 

A caveat was lodged against the title of the 

property by LotteryWest to protect its interest. 

The Family Planning Association of WA Inc (The 

Association) has entered into a Deed of Trust 

with LotteryWest to hold the property on trust 

for The Association (77% undivided share) and 

LotteryWest (23% undivided share) as tenants 

in common. In the event of the property 

being sold or used for unauthorised purposes, 

LotteryWest may exercise its rights relating to 

its share. 

Note 10: Contingent Liability 

A claim for damages has been brought against 

the Association. The action is being defended, 

and the insurer has granted the Association 

indemnity for this claim. Therefore the potential 

liability is capped at $1,000 which is the policy 

excess.
