Consent form – Participant providing own consent

You are invited to participate in a short confidential survey conducted by Family Planning NSW. This survey is voluntary. This means you can choose to participate and leave at any time.

This survey will ask about your knowledge on safe sex and confidence discussing safe sex and attitude to testing for sexually transmissible infections (STIs). You will also be asked about your experience:

  • using the website
  • completing the learning tool and ordering free condoms.

Your responses will also help us to evaluate the Freedom Condom website, as well as improve health promotion work in this area.

The survey is open to young people in West and Far West New South Wales, Australia who have completed the Freedom Condom learning tool and ordered condoms. You can still take the survey if you are not sexually active. 

On completing the survey you can choose to enter a draw to win one of twenty True Rewards Choice $25 gift-cards. If you choose to go in the prize draw, a separate window will open for your details. Any information you provide will be separate from your survey responses.

This survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

All responses will be kept confidential. You may opt out of the survey at any time by closing the browser window or skip any questions that you do not want to answer.

More information and details regarding the survey and conditions of participation can be accessed here.

If you have any questions about the study or your participation, please feel free to contact Isam Al-Handola at Family Planning NSW by email isamh@fpnsw.org.au or call (02) 4749 0520.

Thank you for your interest in this survey. We are very grateful for your input!

Quick hide out made easy

The correct answer is:

Consent is when one person agrees or gives permission to another person to do something. It means agreeing to an action based on what you know of the situation and what that action involves, its possible consequences and having the option of saying no.

Hi there

The Freedom Condom project provides free condoms and relevant and accurate information about sexual health. The information provided will be about consent, condom use, contraception and sexual health checks. These topics can be uncomfortable for some people.

The Freedom Condom project is not intended to provide medical advice. If you have any questions or concerns, see your doctor or call Family Planning NSW Talkline on 1300 658 886 or email talkline@fpnsw.org.au

The correct answer is:

True for all ages

In NSW, the age of consent is 16 for all people. There are times when a person cannot legally give their consent no matter what age they are. This is when they are:
  • drunk
  • taking drugs
  • asleep or unconscious
  • unsure or unaware of what they are consenting to
  • threatened, pressured or scared

The correct answer is:

Condoms

Condoms are the only form of contraception that also protect against STIs.

The correct answer is:

Up to 5 days

Although the ECP can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sex, the earlier an ECP is taken after unprotected vaginal sex the better it works.

Sorry, there is no collect point in your area.

You can still order free condoms online by
