When you smoke, the chemicals you inhale cause mutations in your body.
This is how cancer starts.

If you could see the damage, would you stop?
We know quitting isn’t always easy, but it is one of the most effective things you can do to reduce your cancer risk and live a longer, healthier life.
For support to quit, call 13 7848.

Adapting the Got It! program to support Aboriginal Children became a blueprint for cultural adaptation across our District.

Aboriginal Got It! uses a culturally adapted model of care that infuses Aboriginal traditional healing practices and ways of being with western clinical practices.

By documenting the adaptation process, we produced a Cultural Adaptation Toolkit to help others build cultural responsiveness into their services.

Aboriginal Got It! won the NSW Health Award for Excellence in Aboriginal Healthcare in 2022.
