RedAware: Empowering Australians with Sexual Health Education

RedAware promotes safe sex and sexual health education funded by the national government. With only 4 staff members, the program reaches diverse locations in Australia cost-effectively. Using the 'Think Red, Talk Red, Act Red' approach, RedAware engages young Australians through email and social media campaigns. Challenges include targeting a mainstream audience and addressing diverse sexual health issues. To overcome these, RedAware encourages campaign sign-ups, provides Safe Sex Kits, utilizes peer education groups for content, and integrates with larger campaigns for increased impact.

Why RedAware? • Existing branding that resonated with young Australians • Linked into international HIV/AIDS ‘Red’ campaigns • Wanted to allow young Australians to have an opportunity for scaled involvement w YEAH, RedAware allows all Australians, no matter age or geographic location to be involved.
