Aboriginal health worker resources

CEITC are currently developing a Resource Kit aimed at Aboriginal Health Workers to assist them in developing and running Tobacco cessation programs through their health service.

There are a number of quit smoking resources (such as pamphlets, fact sheets, booklets and posters) that can help you in your work. Some of these are listed below. Please let us know of any other resources you have found useful via our Share Your Resources section.
