SEX WORKERS TO OPEN NEW ORGANISATION IN QUEENSLAND

Queensland Health is planning to fund health services sex workers –
what do YOU want to do with the money?

Queensland workers have not been adequately represented since the
demise of SQWISI, and the new group - United Sex Workers Queensland -
will fill that gap. United Sex Workers will be managed and staffed by
past and present sex workers to deliver education and support on
sexual health and other issues relevant to sex workers. It will be
open by summer 2009. The time has come to have your say!

We are inviting ALL Queensland sex workers to tell us what you want
and need at consultation meetings in North and South Queensland. These
meetings will be a forum for all workers and former workers to meet
and decide how their organisation will be run and what services will
be provided.

Regional planning days are being held in:

Townsville (June 1) and Brisbane (June 30).

If you are unable to attend but still want to have your say, a
feedback form is attached and can be returned via email or phoned
through.

To RSVP for the North Queensland meeting contact Jackie at USNQ on 4724 4853
