21.01.2022 Data and evidence is about numbers and outcomes. But what counts to Australian politicians? Votes or lives....?

21.01.2022 We have drawn the winners from the Covid19 Find-A-Word Competition from page 21 in our latest WHACK magazine #41- Special Covid19 Issue!!! Watch the video below to see the draw and see the winners of those draws. 1st prize=$50 2nd prize- $30 and 3rd prize-$20. A HUGE thank you to everyone who entered!!

19.01.2022 Today our good friend Assoc. Prof. Graham Brown has his last day at ARCSHS before leaving and re-appearing at UNSW’s Centre for Social Impact. Although we fully expect to continue to work with you Graham, Harm Reduction Victoria would like to wish you well in your new adventures, and thank you for everything you have done in partnership with us over the years. The W3 (What Works and Why) project, and your work with us more broadly, is a leading example of true, meaningful in...volvement of peers in research we wish was the norm. More than that W3 gives us something that lives beyond a few academic papers and actually gives organisations like ours and Living Positive Victoria an amazing framework to understand and explain the way that our peer processes work and contribute to the sector, the community and society. Graham has been ridiculously generous with his time over the years and he never fails to put community leadership and peer workers and our processes at the centre. The Centre for Social Impact is getting a gem and knowing that there he will be able to work on the wider systemic and structural issues that impact upon people who use and inject drugs is really exciting. Good luck Graham! See more

19.01.2022 I’m thinking about the homie Juan M.J Marquez. I’m finally reading that book. Thank you for your wisdom. I miss you brother. Keep resting in peace. - love your mate Matt #overdosetributes #ioad2020 #hrvic #lestweforget #endthewarondrugs

12.01.2022 In April, the Harm Reduction Conference made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone their forthcoming conference. HRVic is pleased, as a partner with Harm Reduction International, AIVL, ASHM & INHSU, to let you know that the next Harm Reduction International conference (HR21) will take place on the rescheduled dates of 1-4 December 2021. The main event will take place in Melbourne as planned and there will also be a virtual element to the event. We thank our colleagues and partners for their support and encouragement. As they have been reminding us, great things happen when the harm reduction community comes together. Stay tuned for the conference theme announcement later this month; registration will open in January 2021.

12.01.2022 Aug 31 (today) is International OVERDOSE Awareness Day but as survivors of overdose and drug users we live with remembering EVERYDAY. THIS is WHY we are doing FREE NALOXONE TRAINING ALL WEEK not just TODAY!! And YES you get a FREE NALOXONE kit once you’ve completed it!! It’s easy it’ll take no more than an hour. Not bad to save a life eh?! Join today or email [email protected] to book a one on one online workshop. @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
