SWOP

SWOP NSW exists to provide NSW s*x workers with the same access to health, safety, human rights and workplace protections as other Australian workers.

SWOP provides a private and confidential service open to all people who engage in s*x work, including everyone providing s*x for cash, favours, drugs, clothing, a place to stay, alcohol or anything else, either often, or on occasion. We have multicultural and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander projects, and support s*x workers from a range of backgrounds. SWOP also provides training to service

providers, including s*xual health services, WorkCover, needle syringe programs and NSW police in order to improve s*x workers access to these services and create better understanding of s*x worker issues. Outreach is conducted both day and night to s*x industry workplaces, including massage and full-service brothels, B&D houses, strip clubs, private workers, safe houses and street s*x work locations.

You can call SWOP or drop in to the office for a confidential chat with a s*x worker peer who knows the industry and issues. Phone: (02) 9184 9466

International Overdose Awareness Day is 31 August.
For s*x workers, harm reduction is part of looking after ourselves and each other.
Overdose continues to affect every community, including ours. But it can be prevented. If you use drugs, work around drug use, or just want to be prepared in case someone around you is using, knowing what to do and having naloxone on hand can save lives.

We provide free naloxone and other harm reduction supplies, information and support for s*x workers. You can also get in touch with us if you have questions, want to know more about overdose prevention, or just want to have a chat.

This year marks 25 years of International Overdose Awareness Day. 25 years on. Still needed.

Protecting your privacy can be especially important as a s*x worker given we don't have anti-discrimination protections. Join Niamh from ICLC for a workshop on practical ways to protect your personal information;
• Silent elector status – how you might be able to keep your home address off the public electoral roll
• ABNs, banks and protecting your name and personal details
• DMCA requests and getting your content taken down from websites
Protecting your privacy can be hard as technology evolves. With recent scams targeting s*x workers, this is really useful information to have up your sleeve or in your garter.

We’ve heard from NSW SWorkers whose advertising profiles have been taken over and used to scam clients out of deposits.
In some cases, workers have been contacted by what looks like another SWers legit profile, sent a link and then had their login details compromised.
We’ve also heard about workers’ photos and info being used to make fake profiles.
Read through so you know what to keep an eye out for and some things you can do to help protect your profile.
Please share this with another SWorker. The more we know, the harder it is for scammers to keep passing it through the community.
Need support or want to let us know about a scam targeting SWorkers? Get in touch with us. [email protected] | (02) 9184 9466
