Today is World S*xual Health Day!

"Every Body" is the World S*xual Health Day 2026 theme, a declaration that s*xual health, rights, justice and pleasure belong to every person, in every body, without exception.

At Project Respect, we support bodily autonomy, challenge stigma, and create space for conversations that are often seen as too difficult to have. Because everyone deserves access to information, support, safety, and respect.

August 3 - 9 is National Homelessness Week!

This week is used to raise awareness, and the solutions needed to end homelessness, and advocate for change via national and local community events, media and social media activities.

👏 Homelessness isn’t inevitable — it’s the result of decades of underinvestment in social and affordable housing, and a housing market that fails people on low incomes.

👏 Early intervention prevents homelessness — by supporting people to keep their homes, escape violence, or connect with help in time.

👏 Access to the support people need matters — too many people return to homelessness because their needs aren't met after being housed. With the right help, people can stay housed and rebuild their lives.

Project Respect provides support to women and gender diverse people with experience in the s*x industry, and to, women and gender diverse people with experiences of s*xual exploitation (including trafficking). Our case coordination and specialised s*xual violence counselling is available to people of any housing (or visa) status

No matter your housing status (or visa) — you have rights, and you can access support.

📞 If you are looking for support, you can call, text or WhatsApp us on 0477 001 110, Tuesday to Friday 9am - 5pm. Outside of those hours, you can leave a message for callback.

Please note, we are not a crisis response service.
If you need urgent support outside of our hours, you can contact:
📞 1800RESPECT – 1800 737 732

Today is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.

Human trafficking, a form of modern slavery, is a serious crime in Australia. But help is available.

No matter your age, gender, s*xuality, ethnicity, culture, religion, or visa status — you have rights, and you can access support.

As one part of our service delivery in Victoria, Project Respect provides support to women and gender diverse people who have experienced s*xual exploitation, through case coordination, and through specialised s*xual violence counselling.

To access our support, you can:

📱 Call, text or WhatsApp on 0477 001 110

🕘 Tuesday to Friday, 9am–5pm (leave a message outside these hours for a callback)

You can also contact the Additional Referral Pathway (ARP), who can provide an assessment, and assist eligible people with a referral to the Support for Trafficked People Program (a program delivered by Australian Red Cross). These programs are delivered throughout Australia.

If you're looking for this kind of support, you can contact the ARP between 9am - 5pm on all business days through a central phone number, which will be answered by a practitioner working with The Salvation Army ARP team, on 1800 000 277.

🔴 Please note, neither us nor the ARP is a crisis response service.
