Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to reopen up the discussion around the ‘Rethink Addiction’ campaign. In September 2022 the Rethink Addiction Convention was relaunched in Canberra.
The campaign aims to create the conversations for change around Addiction within Australia. Its primary focus is to shed light on addiction, change the narrative, reduce stigma and Improve treatment and support options.

I will be posting more video content from the campaign over the upcoming weeks.
‘An Australian dies almost every hour from alcohol, drug and gambling harm’
‘One in four Australians will struggle with alcohol, other drugs or gambling within their lifetime’
'Addiction is not a choice. It is a health condition that can affect anyone of any age, background, socio-economic group, or profession.'
So lets start the conversations to create the change that is needed.
