Natural Family Planning (NFP) methods, also known as Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs) are natural, effective, healthy and modern approaches to managing fertility.

NFP is about identifying the fertile days of the cycle through the observation of signs and symptoms and using that knowledge to avoid or achieve pregnancy.

Medical / scientific research has supported the effectiveness of the Sympto-Thermal Method (STM) as a method of family planning with up to 99.6% effectiveness at avoiding a pregnancy when used correctly.

The Australian Council of Natural Family Planning (ACNFP) sets the standard for training and accreditation of NFP STM educators in clinical and non-clinical work.

Our accredited educators provide personalised services for couples and individuals as well as community education programmes. All services are tailored to suit each situation.

Scientifically proven to be effective to avoid pregnancy up to 99.6% when using Sympto-Thermal Method (STM) correctly
