Today is World No To***co Day, a time to recognise and support anyone who has quit, is currently trying to quit, or is thinking about taking that first step.

Whether through ci******es or vapes, ni****ne can lead to dependence over time.

Many people think va**ng products are less harmful, but they still deliver ni****ne and can make quitting more difficult without support.

Quitting smoking or va**ng is a journey, and it often takes time. The right support can make a real difference.

As part of our commitment to staff wellbeing, we offer our people access to a free 12‑week course of Ni****ne Replacement Therapy. It's all about helping reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to take the next step.

We’ve started National Reconciliation Week with a meaningful first brushstroke 🎨🖌️

Yesterday marked the start of National Reconciliation Week, a time to deepen our cultural understanding, share stories and reflect on our collective journey toward reconciliation.

As part of the activities being held for National Reconciliation Week, an art workshop was held at Graylands, to bring staff together to explore culture, storytelling and creative expression. Participants created their own artworks while connecting through shared storytelling and learning how cultural knowledge is conveyed through Aboriginal art.

The art class is just one of a range of initiatives we are holding in in line with this year’s theme, ‘All In', encouraging all of us to learn, listen and play a part in bringing reconciliation to life.

With more workshops and activities taking place across our sites and in the community, there are plenty of opportunities for our people to get involved and continue the journey.
