Are you a Harm Reduction Warrior?

Harm reduction aims to minimise negative health, social and legal impacts associated with drug use, drug policies and drug laws and our aim is to fund new and innovative projects (and maybe kickstart some old ones) to promote harm reduction. 

Australia was once a leader in evidence-based human rights responses to HIV and other blood-borne viruses, and harm reduction policies and practices underpinned our early successes. 

Do you have an idea that can promote harm reduction principles and practices?

Need some funds to realise that idea?

Applications are invited for modest funding that can promote harm reduction, and we encourage applicants with lived and living experience to apply.

Some ideas could include:

• Holding an open day where the public is invited to learn about harm reduction 
• Producing promotional materials to highlight harm reduction principles 
• Designing and sell merch demystifying harm reduction
• Getting harm reduction messages on Instagram or other social media
• Having a social media contest promoting harm reduction
• Introducing new branding that promotes harm reduction
• Naloxone related promotion and use programs
• Creating a harm reduction page on your service’s website
• Holding stalls at local markets to promote harm reduction
• Engaging with politicians about harm reduction 
• Developing a Letters to the Editor campaign newspapers supporting harm reduction

But we are open to all and any ideas that promote harm reduction and we have $10,000 available each year. 

Please note that a final report at the completion of the project will be required with 20% of funding withheld until the report is submitted.
