World No Tobacco Day 2011

An ACT World No Tobacco Day Symposium was held in 2011 by ATODA, in partnership with the ACT Government Health Directorate, Mental Health Community Coalition ACT and Youth Coalition of the ACT.

The symposium provided opportunities for participants to:

  • Explore recent evidence regarding tobacco and tobacco management (including nicotine pharmacotherapies);
  • Understand both the national and local policy and programmatic responses to tobacco;
  • Explore recent developments related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and tobacco management;
  • Find out about the implications of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) availability on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), and how consumers may be supported to access this;
  • Discuss strategic implications for tobacco management initiatives across the ACT, and support increased coordination;
  • Network with other stakeholders.

For further information about the 2011 Symposium download the World No Tobacco Day Symposium Flyer.
