Talkin' up Good Air Health Worker Resource Kit

This tobacco control resource kit for Indigenous Australian communities aims:  To assist health professionals, along with community and education workers, to become community leaders in the area of tobacco control. To raise the priority of tobacco control in Indigenous communities. To build community ownership in tobacco control by supporting community-initiated and controlled action.

A practical manual, which encourages community action, the kit is full of information for health professionals, but particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers, to further develop their tobacco control knowledge.

The kit draws on the knowledge of many individuals and organisations working in the area of tobacco control, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, community health and health promotion. It is a tool box of helpful information, ideas, activities, success stories, and reference materials.

CEITC have sent copies out to all Aboriginal Medical Services throughout Australia free of charge. We are also making copies available free of charge to other Health Professionals working with Aboriginal Clients. You may request a copy by sending an email to ceitc-info@unimelb.edu.au.
