Sexual health framework and action plans

The Queensland Sexual Health Framework (the Framework) will help improve the sexual and reproductive health of all Queenslanders by addressing a broad range of sexual and reproductive health issues including health promotion, prevention, clinical service provision and community education.

The Framework continues the work of the Queensland Sexual Health Strategy 2016–2021 and is underpinned by the below action plans that support key priority areas of the Framework:

The action plans align with the National Strategies for Blood Borne Viruses and Sexually Transmissible Infections 2018–2022.
