Netreach and CyberReach are new services providing online chat information, support and referral for Gaydar users.
You can send an instant message to one of the profiles below, or chat to us live when we are online in the chatrooms listed below.
These
services are provided by the AIDS Councils in Queensland, Victoria,
South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
This project is supported by the
Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations (AFAO) and by Gaydar.com.au
This project offers peer based information and support on everything to do with sex between men. If you want to know something simply private us in chat or send us an Instant Message. If we can't help you, we'll try to suggest another organisation that can. This is an anonymous and confidential service.
Outreach workers can be found at the times and in the chatrooms listed below. Outreach workers are easily recognisable as their usernames will always end with the initials "ac". For example, workers from the Victorian AIDS Council will work under the profile "vacgmhc.ac".
When you see one of us in any of the chat rooms, you can talk to us there in general chat. Or you can ask for a private chat by double clicking on our username. If we are already chatting with another person, we will let you know and will get back to you later (if time permits).
We will never 'private' you (seek one-one chat), unless you have already messaged us and asked for a chat.
If you want to speak to someone when we're not online, you can send a Gaydar Instant Message to one our profiles, or the table below has details of telephone numbers and email addresses. Please be aware that if you have been chatting to one of us via Instant Message and send a message after we have logged off, it may be a different worker who next logs and responds to your message. You can also find a lot of information on our websites, listed below, and on the AFAO Site.
If you think someone is falsely claiming to be one of us, either during these times or outside of them, then please report this to Gaydar by clicking on the 'Report Abuse' red triangle in the chat room window.
