Here's one for the GPs: Primary Health Tasmania is offering limited educational scholarships to eligible GPs to develop skills in managing AOD concerns in the primary care setting.

The $975 scholarships support training in opioid dependence and pharmacotherapy through the Alcohol and Drug Service (ADS), and will help build clinical confidence, reduce stigma, and strengthen connections with local ADS teams.

There’s not long left to secure your tickets to the Are You Bogged Mate event, proudly hosted by Josef Chromy Wines.

📍 Venue Update (Southern Event): The location has changed — it will now be held in Campania.

With support from the Tas Farm Innovation Hub, Josef Chromy Wines is bringing Mary O’Brien to Tasmania for two powerful events designed to help farmers and contractors “un-bog” their mental health.

This session connects the dots between physical farm safety and mental wellbeing. Through Mary’s down-to-earth machinery analogies and practical insights into ‘boots on the ground’ support, you’ll walk away with a mental “first aid toolbelt” you can rely on.

Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in your wellbeing and support your community.
