This report examines the health and social wellbeing needs of sex workers in Victoria, particularly in relation to sexual, physical and mental health. The report is designed to inform needs and service provision in the Victorian setting, where sex work has recently been decriminalised. The report is deliberately expansive and includes exploration of the experiences, and perspectives, of both key stakeholder and sex worker participants. Detailed recommendations are provided for the reconfiguration, development and implementation of services to meet the needs of sex workers in the future.
