The initial focus of the service will be the provision of evidence-based assessment and treatment for problem sexual behaviours. In the longer term, the clinic will also focus on other problem behaviours.

The TRC is located in a brand new purpose-built clinic in Surry Hills, just a short walk from either Central or Museum station. Easy access is also provided via buses and light rail. An array of restaurants and café options are a short walk away.
