Commissioned Reports

Country SA PHN commissioned SHINE SA in the 2023-24 financial year to complete a targeted Needs Assessment, exploring the availability of sexual and reproductive health services in Country SA. The report focused on services such as long-acting reversible contraception, early medial abortions and screening and management of sexually transmitted infections and blood-borne viruses.

The project aimed to identify the barriers that community members experience when trying to access these services and provide recommendations for future activity.

This activity was commissioned because Country SA PHN had identified that knowledge and awareness of the sexual and reproductive health landscape in country SA was limited, therefore, a targeted Needs Assessment, completed by experts in the space, was required to overcome this knowledge gap.
