RhED Products

Information Pack

Much has been written about prostitution and the sex industry. An Information Pack is available from RhED that provides a number of articles that reflect some issues that are current and/or are of concern to sex workers. It is beyond our scope to provide a complete catalogue of research or other publications. However, the pack includes a list of 25 recommended resources that you may want to follow-up through your own sources.

You are also welcome to make an appointment with RhED Program staff if you would like to look through our files at 10 Inkerman Street, St Kilda. Phone us on (03) 9534 8166 if you would like to make an appointment.
Our telephone service operates 10.00am - 5.00pm, Monday to Friday.

The cost of the pack is $35.00.
The pack will be sent to you upon receipt of an order form and paid invoice. Cheques should be made payable to the Inner South Community Health Service and sent to:
10 Inkerman Street
St Kilda, 3182
