Sex worker groups working with Queensland Health have established Respect Inc
Following the Queensland Health commissioned review of sex workers needs (SWAN review) in 2008, a working group was established to act on recommendations to fund future services. Queensland sex workers’ groups, USNQ and Crimson Coalition were excited to be involved in this working group and in the year since then Respect Inc was established. Respect Inc is a totally peer based sex workers organisation – run by sex workers (past and present) for sex workers. Respect Inc now has a service agreement with Queensland Health to deliver education, information and advocacy services to Queensland sex workers.

Sexual Health Certificates...

We have had a few enquiries from workers who think that they can only get their sexual health check and Sexual Health Certificate from a doctor at a Sexual Health clinic. This is NOT the case ....you can ask any doctor you are comfortable with to do your sexual health check and sign the Sexual Health Certificate. The important thing is that they download the "Sexual Health Check - Certificate of Attendance" document from the Queensland Health website (cert_of_attend.pdf).

Did you know that under recent amendments to the Prostitution Act 1999, sex industry workers working in licensed brothels are now required to have a sexual health check every 3 months (This replaces the old requirement of a check every 6 weeks). Please see the following pages from the Queensland Legislation website for further details:
