The WA AIDS Council adopts a peer education model in our health promotion, outreach and education. All our programs are run by Gay/MSM guys and one to one peer support is also available. Using a peer-based model, our officers are trained and educated in the sexual health issues surrounding HIV/AIDS, STIs, sexuality, safer sex, and drug use, and thereby become relative experts in these subjects compared to their peers.

WAAC workshops are a collection of programs run by and for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. We offer a variety of peer education based courses for same-sex attracted men. These include assisting men to better understand their same-sex attraction, relationships, communication, sexual desire and sexual health risks. For more information about the workshops currently on offer and booking information please click here to go to the workshops section of the Project X website.

Since 1988 the Venue Outreach project has been targeting gay orientated venues such as hotels, nightclubs and Sex on Premises Venues (SOPVs), promoting safe sex practices and providing resources which promote physical, mental and social wellbeing of the patrons who frequent these venues.

The WA AIDS Council offers sexual health testing services to gay men and men who have sex with men. These services are located both at the WA AIDS Council and at our Sauna Sexual Health services. We have recently started a new Saturday morning Testing Clinic.

In response to our vision: “Strengthening our community’s health and quality of life”, WAAC will soon be offering a range of services and packages to assist GLBTIQ community groups to develop confidence in their own capacities through empowerment and facilitation.
