Hey there, pleasure seekers! Whether you're exploring the vibrant world of adult entertainment on Langtrees.com or diving into open discussions on Talkinsex.com, one thing's crystal clear: great sex starts with great health. As platforms dedicated to celebrating sexuality, both sites emphasise education around safe practices, consent, and wellness. But let's get real, regular check-ups, STI testing, and access to reliable info are non-negotiable for keeping things fun and risk-free particularly those in the sex work industry. In Australia, we've got fantastic public and community resources tailored to sexual health. Below, I'll break down key clinics by state and territory, focusing on official or trusted spots for testing, advice, counselling and treatment. Remember, many offer free or low-cost services, and confidentiality is always priority one. Let's start with Nationally!
Scarlet Alliance is Australia's peak sex worker organisation that advocates for rights, decriminalisation, health equity and justice while linking to peer-led member groups across the country for direct services like education, harm reduction and referrals.
Before zooming into states, check out Healthdirect's Sexual Health hub for general advice on STIs, contraception, counselling and more. They also provide a nation-wide helpline for any issues you may wish to discuss more intimately on 1800 022 222. It's a one-stop government-backed site.
Nationally, for gay, bi, or M2M folks, The Drama Downunder has a wealth of information relating to STIs, how they spread, symptoms, testing and a really easy clinic finder map.
QLife is yet another great initiative created to provide anonymous and free LGBTIQ+ peer support and referral for people in Australia wanting to talk about sexuality, gender, bodies, feelings or relationships. Their hotline is 1800 184 527 and lines are manned daily from 3pm to 9pm local time of each state. The QLife family includes hundreds of highly experienced staff and volunteers Australia-wide so if you're looking to connect with someone to explore what's going on in your life QLife are your go-to crew.
