Sex Worker Awareness Training

Scarlet Alliance’s Tasmanian Project provides training to service providers, including sexual health, alcohol and other drugs, and criminal justice services. Our aim is to enhance awareness of sex worker issues with the goal of improving access and equity.

We provide short, engaging workshops free of cost, which we deliver in a way that suits your organisation and team. They are designed to provide health, community, alcohol and other drug and youth worker professionals with an introduction to the sex industry and the people who work in it.

Sex work can be a hidden and stigmatised profession, largely influenced by myth, morals and the media. Our workshop aim is to demystify some of the stereotypes to provide participants with accurate information about the sex industry.

The workshop will provide participants with practical skills in identifying, engaging and addressing the needs of sex industry workers.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

 learn about different sectors of the sex work community  explain laws relating to sex work  identify several sexually transmissible infections  promote their service to sex workers  reflect on their current work practice

Learning outcomes:

 to raise awareness of the key issues encountered by people working in the sex industry  to identify risks and promote safety  to identify available resources and services, and barriers to accessing services  to gain an understanding of issues relating to the law, police and public attitudes
