No Smokes aims to educate young Indigenous people about the dangers of smoking and assist them to quit. It aims to do this with a youth and Indigenous friendly website featuring interactive games, animations, videos, quizzes and health information to provide support to smokers to get quit and stay quit.

This project is newly funded and is in its early development phase.

This project was developed to encourage Aboriginal smokers to quit for World No Tobacco Day 2005. A series of culturally appropriate health promotion strategies and smoke-free resources were developed for Indigenous people living in the south west area of Sydney.

Queensland Health's SmokeCheck program aims to encourage and support Indigenous Health Workers and other health professionals to use culturally effective tobacco brief interventions to:

• Increase the capacity of ACCHSs to implement local tobacco control activities and programs, and provide high quality evidence to inform future Aboriginal tobacco control program and policy development.
• Increase readiness to quit, number of quit attempts, and successful quit attempts.
• to contribute to the evidence base surrounding smoking issues and interventions in an Aboriginal comunity context.
• Deveop a smoking cessation and tobacco control program that is sustainable and transferable to other ACCHSs

This project focuses on Risk Factor prevention for heart disease. It is hoped that by sharing information and raising awareness about heart disease risk factors, it will allow people to reduce their risk of chronic diseases by self management. This project follows a SELF EMPOWERMENT principle.

The program aims to reduce the unacceptably high risk of Aboriginal infants dying of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and fatal sleep accidents.  As tobacco smoking is one of the contributing factors for SIDS,  SIDS and Kids WA's Reducing the Risk of SIDS in Aboriginal Communities (RROSIAC) program aims to raise awareness in community members and local professionals of the need for smoking cessation and encourage access to support.  At present SIDS and Kids WA is seeking to build the tobacco control component within the RROSIAC project to better meet the needs of

The project aims to build capacity within Aboriginal health agencies and Aboriginal
communities in order to gain a maximum reduction in tobacco smoking and passive
smoking exposure among Aboriginal people living in regional and remote communities
identified in the geographic coverage area.

To provide intensive support to Indigenous smokers to quit smoking and raise their knowledge about the harms of smoking. The project was developed from a successful mainstram program developed by Dr James Duff called Quit for CATS (Chronically Addicted Tobacco Smokers). It is evidence-based and uses best practice.

The project hopes to spread the message "Fresh air grows solid babies" and encourage Aboriginal women and their families to protect the foetus and newborn from exposure to tobacco smoke, thereby reducing their risk of developing asthma.

This project aims to reduce smoking prevalence of Tasmanian Aboriginal people by collaborating with Aboriginal Health and Community services to identify solutions to the high use of tobacco within Aboriginal Communities. It aims to increase the skills of Aboriginal Health Workers by providing training to plan and deliver effective cessation programs and to encourage and support smoke free workplaces.

The aim of this project is to decrease the level of Environmental Tobacco Smoke that the Wuchopperen Health Service Community is exposed to by 100% by July 2010, and thereby eliminating the incidence of smoking at Wuchopperen Health service by 100%.

'Our Space Smoke Free' project will implement and evaluate the following five strategies:

The project aims are:

•  A decrease in smoking prevalence amongst Aboriginal people living in far western NSW
•  An increase in the number of quit attempts made by Aboriginal people living in far western NSW
•  An increase in staff confidence and willingness to routinely deliver brief interventions related to smoking
•  An increase in staff and community knowledge about the harmful effects of smoking and appropriate use of the pharmocotherapies for treatment
