About Frank
Frank aims to answer questions on all things sex, relationships, and sexual health.
OUR VISION IS FOR ALL PEOPLE TO ENJOY HEALTHY SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS.
Whether it be by yourself, with a partner, or with many people, vaginal, oral, anal, manual, or mutual masturbation – it’s all normal.
We want you to be able to talk about your sexual health, from negotiating what you find pleasurable, to STIs and condoms.
We believe we should all care about each other and get tested regularly. Most importantly, your sexual health and your partners’ is key to enjoying sex.
Frank is an honest approach to your reproductive and sexual health by Family Planning Australia.
COLLABORATIONS
Frank is an Australian Government funded national initiative led by Family Planning Australia.
Frank and the Talking Frank podcast were made possible through funding from the Australian Government as part of their National STI Strategy that focuses on reinvigorating prevention activities and the critical importance of testing, treatment and best practice management.
More on this strategy is available on the Department of Health’s webpage.
Consumer engagement and consultation with representative from leading organisations within this field has played a key role in the planning, development, and implementation of this project
