Over the past few years, AH&MRC has continued to support smoking and vaping cessation initiatives and ongoing work across the sector. AH&MRC has worked closely with member services and stakeholders to support access to Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), workforce training, and culturally appropriate smoking cessation support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
AH&MRC has also collaborated with stakeholders including the Cancer Institute NSW, to support ACCHOs with access to funded NRT supplies, with opportunities available for services to receive funding support during this financial year.
AH&MRC has partnered with ‘WhichWay?’ to implement and evaluate a Women’s Group Program: ‘Gulibaa Project – Supporting Women on Their Quit Journey’ aimed at supporting the sector to deliver culturally safe smoking and vaping cessation support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.
As part of this year’s World No Tobacco Day activities, AH&MRC is happy to announce the relaunch of the Quit Pack | WhichWay? with the resource expanding nationally to support more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia. You can download their promotional resource kit here.
If your service would like further information about AH&MRC smoking and vaping cessation support, workforce training, or access to resources including NRT support initiatives, please reach out to the AH&MRC Public Health Team publichealth@ahmrc.org.au
