Scarlet Alliance is Australia's national peak sex worker organisation. It was formed in 1989. As an organisation maintained entirely by current and former sex workers, Scarlet Alliance aims to achieve equality, social, legal, political, cultural and economic justice for workers in the sex industry.
Since its inception, Scarlet Alliance has primarily relied on volunteers to manage the organisation. However, in 2004 Scarlet Alliance was granted ongoing government funding to undertake project work in Australia and within the Asia/ Pacific region.
