How We Can Help You
We've a common goal, we all want to ensure students are empowered through knowledge and information around relationships and sexuality so they can be the best they can be.
However, taking responsibly and teaching healthy information to our young people in a manner that builds on knowledge, skills and behaviours can be complex, confusing, even uncomfortable for teachers and parents. As your relationships and sexuality education partner we have, since our inception nearly 100 years ago, harnessed the courage to own these education moments and today our curriculum-aligned, evidence-based programs focus on developing the whole person, including biology, identity, relationships, gender resilience and expression of self.

We take a whole of community approach when it comes to the education of young people as it helps to reinforce their learning and positive behaviour development. We also believe it is important that parents and teachers also receive the same information to encourage conversation and shared learning opportunities. This approach is recognised by the Health Promoting Schools model developed by the World Health Organisation which indicates that a collective approach to a child's education can improve learning outcomes around health and relationships.
Our educators are highly experienced and passionate about educating young people. We require all our educators to have:
- A degree or tertiary qualification in Education/ Social Sciences
- Experience in classroom management and working with children
- Experience in program development, implementation and review
- Experience in group work and facilitation
- Experience in communicating sensitive/personal issues to children, students and adults
- Working with Children’s Check and Australian National Police Check
Our programs are delivered by age group not by gender as we believe this is a more accurate reflection of real life interactions and encourages mutual respect and understanding amongst peers.
We are intentional about using inclusive language, images and messaging around gender diversity. Our relationships and sexuality programs respectfully include examples about body and gender diversity that reflect the diverse communities we live and work with.
Child safety is our highest priority across all Interrelate services. Through our education programs we ensure children are supported to recognise the early signs of unsafe behaviour and build their confidence to speak up when something doesn't feel right.
Consent is an important theme throughout all our programs and addressed at age-appropriate levels for years 3 - 6, introducing students to concepts about safety, respect and communication. Themes of consent are also woven throughout our online and in-person programs including discussions and workbook activities. Our program content is aligned with state curriculums and satisfies the relevant syllabus outcomes for teaching students the principles and behaviours that define consent. If you would like more information around this you can contact us directly at schoolservices@interrelate.org.au
As a non-for-profit and charitable organisation the delivery of our relationships and sexuality programs is an integral part of our mission to support greater awareness and action around creating respectful relationships. There is no Government funding to deliver our programs which is why we rely on fees to deliver them. Please be aware that we keep our fees as low as possible so that more young Australians have access to these valuable education programs.
Please reach out to discuss this with us as it may be possible to arrange sharing costs with another school. This has been very successful in regional areas where small schools have joined forces to participate in a program together either online or at one of the school in-person.
