Magenta Services

 

Outreach

Magenta Educators are available to visit you in your place of work. We offer up-to-date information and low cost supplies.

Visiting Us

You’re welcome to drop into Magenta anytime during opening hours. Friendly staff are available to answer your queries and sell you stock. If you need to speak to someone about a number of issues, you can make an appointment with an Educator. Alternatively you can phone us and we’ll do our best to help you out.

Workshops

Workshops are held by arrangement in brothels or parlours, or at Magenta. We provide comprehensive sessions on everything you need to know about reducing health risks while working. Our New Worker Workshop offers additional information on work techniques with an emphasis on personal safety and self empowerment.

Sexual Health Clinic

The clinic runs every Wednesday from 10 am to 1pm at Magenta and offers STI (sexually transmissible infection) screening, anonymous HIV testing and answers to general health questions. Call 9328 1387 to make an appointment for this confidential service.

A Magenta Educator is available on Wednesdays to talk one-to-one with clinic clients on any aspects of their working life.

Magenta collects reports from sex workers who have experienced violence or mistreatment from a client. If you have come across an Ugly Mug contact an Educator to talk about it. The report is updated regularly and is available by subscription.
