Organisation or Department: 
Department of Health and Famlies ADSCA
Project Activities: 

2 x 1 day workshops
1 in Alice Springs
1 in Tennant Creek

What in particular helped the project?: 
  • I organised flyers 
  • Emailed to all Health Services, Govt & Non-Govt.
  • Good Contact List
  • Personally went to visit some services
  • Sent reminders
  • Free Workshop - Free Lunch
What in particular didn't work so well?: 

Tobacco Control is not seen as a priority in some Health Services

Summary of Findings and Recommendations: 

Felt that workshops in Alice Springs were well received. Had good feedback. Facilitators really knew their program & delivered well. Engagement with Tennant Creek however was not successful and no applications were received.
