Family Planning Tasmania Hep B Project Family Planning Tasmania has been running a project to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes of Tasmanian migrant and refugee communities. The project, Supporting Culturally Accessible Sexual and Reproductive Health of Tasmanian Migrant and Refugee Communities has been funded by the Department of Communities and has been supported by: • the Red Cross Bi-Cultural Health Program • Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania • Migrant Resource Centre North • the Multicultural Council of Tasmania • the Glenorchy City Council’s Hear our Voices Program • the Women’s Friendship Group. The project has developed a resource for migrant and refugee support workers to provide guidance on having a successful sexual and reproductive health chat with clients, and relevant referral organisations. The project has been guided through consultation with stakeholders and the resource is expected to be released during July for download from fpt.org.au. A big thank you goes out to all stakeholders and everyone at Family Planning Tasmania who has offered support and feedback for this project. If you have any questions or comments, or would like to know more, contact Claire Ripper via email at edinfo@fpt.asn.au
