Access to information and education plays an essential part in enabling people to protect their health, make informed decisions about their sexual lives and access health and support services.
Give the people in your organisation the opportunity to broaden their awareness of current health issues and learn tools to improve their individual lives.
WAAC offers a broad range of learning and development sessions that focus particularly on the areas of the sexual health, anti-discrimination, inclusivity, and sex positivity. Our education sessions can also be tailored to your individual or organisational needs. We have certain types of funding allocated specifically to enable training and education sessions to be provided at little to no cost to organisations.
