Thanks, Luke and Ramp Up Inc - Tasmania! We're absolutely on a roll with this partnership 🧻😄. Not only do you keep our shelves stocked, but every delivery helps create meaningful employment opportunities in our community. That's the kind of impact we're proud to support. Plus, you've saved us from the horror of an empty toilet paper cupboard more than once... now that's a true community service! 😂🧻👏

😊🧻 Another successful delivery!

Ramp Up Inc's Luke Rand dropped off toilet paper supplies to Maria and the team at Family Planning Tasmania.

We love working with organisations that support what we do. Every order helps create meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities while keeping workplaces stocked with the essentials.

A big thank you to Maria and everyone at Family Planning Tasmania for their ongoing support. We really appreciate being part of your team behind the scenes!

Get ahead before you run low and place your next order with Ramp Up Inc today!

🕷️ Our friends at Sexual Health Victoria (SHV) have shared this important reminder from STI-Man!

Before you swing into action, make sure your web-shooters are in working order:

✅ Check the expiry date
✅ Check the packet for damage
✅ Check the condom for any tears or defects
✅ Use a new condom every time you have s*x

After all, no superhero heads into battle unprepared... and nobody wants their s*xual health story to turn into an Infinity War situation. 😅

Condoms can help prevent unintended pregnancy and s*xually transmissible infections (STIs).

🦸 Need supplies? FPT has FREE condoms available at all our clinics and offers STI screening appointments to help keep your s*xual health super-powered.

Because, as every Marvel fan knows, with great s*x comes great s*xual health responsibility.

💙 Thanks to Sexual Health Victoria for the original post.

STI-Man always checks his condoms before shooting his web! 🕸🕷

Before you get tangled up, check the expiry date, packet and condom for any signs of damage and remember to use a new condom each time you have s*x.

Condoms can prevent pregnancy and s*xually transmissible infections.

With great s*x comes great s*xual health responsibility.

🌟 Expressions of Interest – Could This Be Your Next Career Move? 🌟

Family Planning Tasmania is growing our workforce.

We're excited to share that we're looking to recruit Registered Nurses in both the North and South of the State, with positions anticipated to commence in January 2027.

"But it's only August... why are you asking now?"

Great question!

We're putting out an Expression of Interest (EOI) early so you have plenty of time to prepare, develop your skills, and make sure you have everything you need when recruitment officially opens.

If you've been thinking about working in Sexual and Reproductive Health, now is the perfect time to start planning!

What are the prerequisites?
To be eligible, you'll need:
✅ A minimum of 2 years' foundational nursing knowledge and clinical practice
✅ A Sexual and Reproductive Health Certificate (this is an essential requirement)

Is this for you?
If you're passionate about providing high-quality, person-centred care, enjoy learning, and would love to be part of a supportive and dynamic team, we'd love to hear from you.

Submitting an EOI doesn't lock you into applying—it's simply a way of letting us know you're interested and helping you prepare for the opportunities ahead.

Keep an eye out for more information over the coming months, and if you've been waiting for the right opportunity... this might just be it!

When matching green scrub days became everyone's favourite kind of day... 💚

It all started with a few of our amazing doctors turning up in matching green scrubs. The compliments kept coming, the photos looked great, even Neil the Seal had scrub game, and before we knew it, we were wondering...

"What if every day could be Green Scrub Day?"

So, after a little convincing (and maybe some very enthusiastic lunchtime lobbying 😉), our boss said yes!

Now we've got our very own Family Planning Tasmania branded scrubs, and we couldn't be more excited to have them as part of our wardrobe options across our clinics.

They're more than just a fresh new look—they're a reflection of the incredible team behind them. Whether you're visiting us in Burnie, Launceston or Glenorchy, you'll be greeted by the same friendly faces, compassionate care and you might just spot some of our team rocking our new green scrubs! 💚

Turns out persistence isn't just useful in healthcare... it's also how you convince the boss to order branded scrubs. 😄 Green Scrub Day might not be every day for everyone, but it's definitely here to stay!

We're sharing this important post because family violence is not an isolated issue—it is a public health issue that affects individuals, families and communities across Tasmania.

At Family Planning Tasmania, we are committed to providing trauma-informed care, ensuring every person who accesses our services is met with compassion, respect and without judgement. We recognise the lasting impacts trauma can have on health and wellbeing, including s*xual and reproductive health, and we're committed to creating a safe space where people feel heard, supported and empowered.

We welcome reporting that recognises these tragic events within the broader context of family violence. Building awareness is an important step towards prevention, alongside improving access to support, education and services for those affected.

If you or someone you know needs a safe place to seek s*xual and reproductive healthcare, information or support, our team is here to help.

Together, we can continue the conversation, challenge the attitudes that enable violence and advocate for a safer Tasmania for everyone.

It is World Hepatitis Day! 💚

Almost 300,000 people in Australia are living with hepatitis B or hepatitis C, putting them at increased risk of liver disease and liver cancer.

Hepatitis B has effective treatment and a vaccine. Hepatitis C has a cure and is preventable.

Whether that next step is getting tested, talking to a doctor, getting vaccinated, starting treatment, hosting an event or raising awareness, every action moves Australia closer to eliminating hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
