Free Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Access to subsidised nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is now available across all alcohol, tobacco and other drug services in the ACT to help staff manage their tobacco consumption and support quit attempts at no cost to the individual employee.

Individuals wishing to obtain subsidised NRT will be provided with a copy of the NRT Policy, which contains further information as well as the registration form. On receipt of the completed registration form ATODA will liaise with one of the four partner pharmacies and the individual to arrange the provision of the NRT.  Individuals will be asked to participate in confidential evaluation processes to assess the progression of their smoking management, reduction and/or cessation.

Individuals are actively encouraged to engage with their health professionals prior to beginning NRT and ATODA will provide smoking cessation information and resources.  Tobacco counselling and support services are available by calling the Quitline on 13 78 48 and in the ACT Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drug Services Directory.

For further information please contact Kathryn Sequoia on (02) 6255 4070 or at tobacco@atoda.org.au
