WAAC
- WAAC has been involved with Leavers WA for 20 years.
- WAAC aims to optimise the sexual health and well being of all.

- We also support LGBTQI+ leavers through advocacy and visibility during the week.
- We have a day team and a night team of around 30 trained volunteers who are interested in sexual health, youth work and harm reduction.
- We are in the Chill Out Tent at the Entertainment Zone - come and relax, chill, chat and watch a movie.
- We encourage parents to have conversations with your young person about sexual health, alcohol and drug use.
