A national survey of the sexual health of Australian secondary students has been carried out approximately every five years since 1992. This survey is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health. The 2021 survey, conducted by the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at LaTrobe University, involved over 6000 students from the Government, Catholic and Independent school systems from every jurisdiction in Australia. Students were asked about their STI and BBV knowledge; sexual behaviour, beliefs and perceptions; sexual attraction and relationships; drug and alcohol use; digital sexual practices; understanding of consent; drinking and drug taking; and sexuality and relationship education.
