The NSHS 2025-2035 will be supported by 3 consecutive Action Plans across its 10 year timeframe. The first of these, the National Sexual Health Action Plan, 2025-2028, which lays out more detailed implementation plans for the first 3 years, is included within the Strategy document.

The four key goals of the NSHS 2025-2035 are to support:

• Sexual health promotion and education; Evidence informed, inclusive and tailored sexual health promotion will be available to all. This will be achieved through the provision of information, education and communications campaigns that support positive sexual health and wellbeing, and the prevention of negative sexual health outcomes across the life-course.

• Sexual health services; Equitable, accessible and high-quality sexual health services for the maintenance and improvement of sexual health and prevention of sexual ill-health that are targeted and tailored to need, will be available to everyone.

• Contraception and unplanned pregnancy; High quality information and services will be available to all, enabling reproductive choice in relation to contraception and unplanned pregnancy options and supporting those who have experienced domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.

• Sexual health surveillance, monitoring, evaluation and research; Robust and high-quality sexual health surveillance, monitoring, evaluation and research will underpin all aspects of policy, practice, service delivery and planning of sexual health outcomes.
