This session explores the power of documenting\, preserving and sharing our sex work histories. The first part of the session will look at some historical peer resources from the archives of Scarlet Alliance\, Julie Bates & Eurydice Aroney\, with a Q&A. The second part of the session will involve participants scrapbooking historical materials from the archives to share an aspect of our own sex working experience. This will be compiled into a zine\, sent to attendees\, and submitted to the Scarlet Alliance Archive. Find out ways for you to get involved with ‘From the Whores Mouth’ – a history collective working to preserve and share sex working histories from across unceded Australia. \nBuilding Sex Worker Cooperatives in AustraliaSex worker cooperatives are a viable option for groups of workers to build safe\, strong\, working environments together. This business model ensures direct worker control and allows workers to co-create and share the profits. Come and be inspired to seek out existing cooperatives or to build your own. Participants will also gain an understanding where in unceded Australia working in a sex worker cooperative is an option in the context of state and territory laws. \nThe Brothel Hustle Q&AJoin experienced brothel and massage parlour workers for a skillshare to sharpen your hustle in sex work establishments. From nailing your client intro\, writing a brothel bio\, and keeping the vibe sexy during visual health checks\, to upselling extras and building a loyal client base—you’ll learn the secrets to the best brothel hustle. Leave with ready-to-use scripts you can memorise and adapt\, plus practical strategies to boost your confidence in establishment work \nOnline Sex Work SkillshareGain valuable information on how to make online sex work like fan sites\, work for you. Discuss content production\, boundaries\, terms and conditions\, custom content and profile advertising. Learn from others\, and share your own experiences and tips. \nMale Sex Work SkillshareLed by a male outreach peer\, this is a supportive roundtable discussion for male sex workers. Connect in a non-judgemental space to share skills and chat openly about topics including client vetting\, party and play\, massage vs full service and self-care. The aim is to build community and improve health outcomes. \nTrans and Gender Diverse Skillshare: Surviving\, Thriving and Making Money in a Hostile ClimateIn an increasingly politically charged environment\, providing sexual services as a trans and gender diverse person can come with extra risks and challenges. In this group skillshare\, workers will strategise together and find ways for all TGD workers to not only survive\, but thrive physically\, mentally and financially. This is a space for TGD workers to get together\, share our unique knowledge\, experience\, tips as well as making connections with the greater community and pooling our resources to make working around the states safer and easier and less isolating for us all. \n  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tuesday 28 October\n				Connecting with Your Inner CreatureAn intimate and playful dive into pet play\, this session blends mindful movement\, community connection and a celebration of kink in a safe and welcoming space. A short yoga warm-up (with optional poppers) helps participants connect to their bodies. Then it’s time to learn how to access ‘pet space’\, a headspace rooted in curiosity\, joy and freedom. This session is relaxed and interactive and will offer time for networking\, questions and photo opportunities. \nSoft\, Hard\, and Everything in Between: Boundaries in Sex WorkHow do we take practical care of boundaries in a sex work context? This session will offer somatic practices to explore how to deepen the felt sense of one’s own boundaries and how to look after yourself and your body at work\, even when we’d really rather be on the couch at home. This is a skillshare so there will be opportunities for discussion\, sharing\, and learning from others. We intend to celebrate all the creative and even sneaky ways in which we look after ourselves while getting the job done! All activities offered in this session are optional. \nThe Mindful Consent Model – Improve Your Consent NegotiationParticipants will define consent and discuss it from an intersectional perspective. Discuss what consent does/doesn’t look like and unpack it in a sex work context. There will also be a chance to discuss red flags\, harm minimisation strategies\, and do a short embodiment exercise using the model. \nWhere’s my Horny?: Reconnecting with personal desire as a Sex WorkerThis is a trauma-informed workshop for sex wokers that explores how sex work can shape\, suppress\, or distance us from pleasure and desire. Blending discussion\, reflection\, and embodiment exercises\, this session offers practical tools—guided thought experiments\, group collaboration\, writing prompts\, and movement—to help participants reconnect with their own sensations and needs. Participants will leave with strategies to ground and regulate\, re-engage with their bodies\, and rediscover desire both within and beyond work. this workshop draws on The Midnight Method coaching program and lived expertise. It offers space for peers to reflect\, connect\, and reclaim pleasure on their own terms. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wednesday 29 October\n				Health Justice Partnerships and How They Can Benefit Our CommunityPresented by representatives of SWOP NSW\, The Kirketon Road Centre and The Inner City Legal Centre\, this presentation explores the value of building strong partnerships between legal\, health\, and advocacy organisations to achieve better outcomes for the sex worker community. Too often\, sex workers facing complex issues—such as employment issues\, housing insecurity\, or discrimination—encounter barriers when services operate in isolation. By working together\, organisations can provide wraparound support that addresses the needs of the sex worker community holistically. Drawing on case examples\, it demonstrates how shared expertise and coordinated responses reduce duplication\, fill service gaps\, and empower individuals to navigate systems with dignity and support. Attendees will gain practical insights into models of collaboration and learn how to foster stronger networks that make a lasting difference in people’s lives. \nTraining to Connect: A Consultation SessionScarlet Alliance is reviewing and re-imagining our national training program — and your input is essential. This one-hour consultation will explore what makes training meaningful\, accessible\, and relevant to everyone in our community. \, Participants will work together to explore motivations for training\, barriers to participation\, and the kinds of topics that matter most\, from practical skills to movement history and values. We’ll also think beyond the room: what would training need to look and feel like to reach sex workers not already connected to organisations? Using a mix of group brainstorms\, creative reflections\, and prioritisation activities\, participants will generate concrete ideas and strategies that will feed directly into the next stage of program design. \nCulturally Safe Outreach Practices: Working with CALD Sex Worker CommunitiesThis interactive workshop draws on the lived experience and peer expertise of outreach workers engaging with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) sex workers in New South Wales. NSW’s decriminalisation framework has enabled peer-led organisations such as SWOP NSW to develop strong outreach programs that prioritise cultural safety and community connection. Participants will explore three key areas: applying intersectionality and cultural safety in outreach\, strengthening communication skills across diverse language and cultural contexts\, and delivering effective peer education in workplace settings. Each section will conclude with collaborative discussions to share skills\, reflect on challenges\, and identify practical solutions.

SUMMARY:National Forum 2023
DESCRIPTION:On this page: About this year’s National Forum | Agenda \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registrations for the 2023 Scarlet Alliance National Forum have now closed. \nThe Scarlet Alliance National Forum is the annual national sex worker only conference. It provides an opportunity for sex workers to network\, workshop\, and make our voices heard. The National Forum is free for sex workers to attend and includes morning tea\, lunch and afternoon tea. You can read more about what the National Forum is here. \nThis year the Scarlet Alliance Annual General Meeting (AGM) is open to all attendees\, including sex workers who aren’t members. However\, only members have speaking and voting rights at the AGM. \nCurrent and former sex workers who support Scarlet Alliance’s objectives are welcome\, and attendees are required to follow our Safer Spaces policy. \nThis year the National Forum will be held on Gadigal land (Sydney) near the CBD. We only release full venue details to people who have registered and had their registration verified. We verify all registrations to ensure that attendance is sex worker only. This means that if you are not already known to us\, we ask for information to confirm that you are a current or former sex worker\, and may reach out to you for more information. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				No online access this year\n				After reviewing the feedback from last year’s National Forum\, the low takeup of the online access\, and having researched the available venue options\, we have made the decision to not offer live online access to the 2023 National Forum. The interactive nature of many workshops and presentations\, combined with the lack of technical capacity in the venues we are able to use\, means that we are unable to offer an appropriate hybrid event. Feedback on our hybrid access last year was clear that the online platform was not accessible\, and did not allow for participation within the conference. A fully accessible hybrid event is currently beyond our staffing and financial capabilities. \nInstead we will be seeking to record relevant sections of the National Forum and upload them to a member’s only section of the website. \nMembers unable to attend the AGM in person are still able to participate through electronic voting\, and/or by nominating a proxy. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				COVID-19 information\n				COVID-19 is still circulating in the community and can have devastating impacts to our communities\, particularly those with pre-existing and/or chronic health conditions. \nWe ask that people who have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last seven days\, have been in close contact to anyone who has tested positive\, or if you have cold or flu-like symptoms\, to not attend the National Forum. \nWe will be providing N95 masks (or similar) for attendees to use\, but mask use is not mandatory. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue layout and accessibility information\n				This year’s venue is a large multi-use space that will have different areas set aside for different uses\, including a balcony. It has moveable partitions that will allow us to configure the space and hold concurrent workshops\, however this means that noise will be an issue.
