Title: 'This way in the right direction': Itha Mari - the Aboriginal health and healing group at the Kirketon Road Centre
Abstract: The Kirketon Road Centre (KRC) is a primary health care facility based in Sydney's Kings Cross, established in April 1987, as a result of a recommendation of the New South Wales Parliamentary Select Committee on Prostitution. KRC provides prevention, treatment and care for HIV/ AIDS and other transmissible infections among 'at risk' young people, sex workers and people who inject drugs, as well as innovative outreach programs to youth services, strip-clubs and sex-parlours in the local area. In addition, the KRC conducts nightly mobile outreach to those living and/ or working on the streets of East Sydney, Woolloomooloo and Darlinghurst.
