Gerasa Bali
About the campaign
The four main components of our project are support groups, education, outreach, and treatment assistance and referrals.
Support groups: We meet with clients as individuals, families, or small groups as appropriate, usually once a week. We process experiences together, and provide a safe environment in which clients can share their victories and concerns. We also offer informal counseling for whatever difficulties clients might be facing.
Education: We offer information and education to schools, families, communities, and governmental and non-governmental (NGO) organizations. This helps to prevent misinformation, stigmatization, and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS.
Outreach: We interact with at risk populations (sex workers, drug users, inmates) as well as AIDS patients in local hospitals and prisons. We build relationships with members of these populations and offer our services to these groups.
Treatment Assistance and Referrals: We provide information about and referrals to needed government and NGO services for clients. These services can include government paid healthcare and treatment, non-profit clinics and testing centers, financial assistance, trainings, and empowerment seminars.
Gerasa Bali is also recognized by local government as the lead agent in Bali to support trafficked people.

HealthServe Australia works in partnership with other international organisations, complementing their strengths with health resources. It has a special relationship with the largest group of Christian health professionals in Australia, the Christian Medical and Dental Fellowship of Australia (CMDFA) through which it was established. Many of the CMDFA members have worked for a number of years overseas in health work.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which we work and live, and pay our respects to First Nations people, and their Elders past and present.
