- bring relevant sexual education to farm workers in the region
-  provide workers with support in accessing health services around concerns that they might have
- provide healthcare practitioners in the region with the opportunity to receive more information about key topics in sexual health facing migrant workers and to learn about the barriers that migrant workers face when accessing healthcare.
