Sexual Health Network

What is the purpose of the network?

Working in sexual health work can be quite challenging. Aboriginal Health Workers and others working in Indigenous sexual health face particular barriers. Many of us are quite isolated and find it hard to get the support, current information and resources that we need. The Sexual Health Network aims to reduce this isolation and to inform, support and inspire sexual health workers.

Who is the network for?

Anyone in WA whose work involves sexual health, including Aboriginal Health Workers, nurses, doctors, health promotion officers, youth workers, drug and alcohol workers, etc. The Network has a special focus on Indigenous sexual health issues, and supporting Aboriginal Health Workers and rural and remote workers in their role in sexual health.

What will we do?

• Distribute up-to-date information on sexual health issues, by email and mail
• Share experiences, challenges, success stories and resources
• Support each other and reduce professional isolation

This year, the Network will aim to provide extra support to the Pilbara-Gascoyne, Goldfields and Kimberley regions after building successful relationships in these areas over previous years.

How will we do it?

The Network has state-wide and regional meetings by teleconference. Information is distributed by email and mail. Members can also share information with each other through our email list, and hopefully the chance to get together …
