ES 2025-26 School Staff Needs Assessment — Sexuality & Sexual Health Education

Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. It will take about 5 minutes to complete.

Family Planning Australia, NSW Health and the NSW Department of Education are working together to understand what schools need to confidently support parents and carers with sexuality and sexual health education (SSHE).

Schools play an important role in providing consistent, age‑appropriate learning and supporting communication between school and home.

This survey asks about:
  • your school’s confidence in supporting parents/carers
  • resource and support needs
  • barriers to engagement
  • cultural, language or accessibility considerations
Your responses will guide the development of staff toolkits, parent resources and school–family engagement approaches for 2026–27.

This anonymous survey is voluntary. You do not need to provide any personal details and may skip any question or stop at any time. Responses will be combined and reported as overall results. De-identified data will be stored securely by Family Planning Australia.

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact education@fpnsw.org.au.
