Spread Awareness about Sexual Health Week

From this page, you can access the entire collection of Talk. Test. Treat. digital campaign materials.

Thank you for helping us promote the importance of sexual health care. While the health sector is still feeling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve developed a suite of resources for you to share to support this campaign among your stakeholders and community to “TALK, TEST & TREAT”.

During the pandemic, many sexual health issues have become more prominent. For instance, rates of STI cases in Victoria continue to increase with the highest number of notified STI cases in 2019 since records began in 1991.

To address these issues, the Multicultural Health & Support Service has been engaged by the Victorian Government’s Department of Health to lead the CALD campaign for Sexual Health Week.
