25.01.2022 The increased presence of fentanyl in the Australian illicit drug market is a worrying trend. We need to prioritise treatment and support for the growing population who will need it.



25.01.2022 Back when the COVID-19 outbreak was first taking hold, two workers from our PALM centre in Canberra, Paul and Lindsay, decided to run a marathon to raise funds and awareness for the Ted Noffs Foundation's work. Their goal was to raise $2,000. After months of challenging training in between shift work, supported by family, friends and the PALM Community, they finally ran together, completing eight laps of Lake Burley Griffin - a total of 44kms! It took them 4 hours, 35 minutes and 24 seconds with a couple of short breaks for water and words of encouragement along the way. In the end Paul and Lindsay raised $3,230.68, smashing their goal out of the park. Thank you to all who donated, and to Paul and Lindsay for your incredible efforts for the PALM team and residents!

18.01.2022 It's important to make it very clear - to politicians and media - exactly how pill testing works. With this in mind, we held a pill testing demonstration today... at Ted Noffs Foundation HQ alongside our colleagues at Pill Testing Australia, DanceWize, Harm Reduction Australia and others. Video to come!

11.01.2022 It's been a few years now, but here is one of our favourite Street Uni video clips. This one was straight outta the ACT. Amazing to think what the future holds!

09.01.2022 Tocumwal: A man has died from a suspected drug overdose at a music festival overnight. Police say the 24-year-old was taken to a medical tent after midnight at ...the Strawberry Fields Festival. He then went into cardiac arrest and died. His death follows a coronial inquiry into drug overdoses at festivals after six young people died over two years. "It's sad to think that a year on after the worst summer we've seen, the worst tragedy that we've seen losing so many young at New South Wales festivals, that nothing has changed. I'm incredibly sad today ... and I'm surprised that the premier has already come out, saying that pill testing wouldn't have worked to save this young person's life, wouldn't have worked to reduce the harm, when the premier isn't a doctor." - Matt Noffs - CEO - Ted Noffs Foundation More: 7news.link/p4AGWi #nswpol #7NEWS

07.01.2022 **PLEASE READ** In response to the latest advice we have been given concerning the COVID-19 outbreak, we have made some necessary changes to our operations. All physical locations - including our head office in Randwick, PALM/CALM, the Street Universities, and Op Shops - are temporarily closed. We have made this decision because the health and safety of our staff, young people, and the wider community is our highest priority. However, we are still able to be contacted via the...se toll-free numbers: NSW/ACT: 1800 151 045 QLD: 1800 753 300 We will also continue to provide counselling services via videoconference, FaceTime, and phone, and via a new online space (more to come). So if you need to refer a young person, please get in contact!

06.01.2022 How are our #febfasters going? We are now 5 days into febfast and the number of badges earned are rising with each day. AND the gang are reporting that they are feeling better for pressing pause for the cause! Keep it up!!

06.01.2022 "It was hard at the start. I constantly thought I should leave and that I would rather be locked up. As time went on with the help from my counsellor, I started to realise that there was more to life. That I did not need drugs. That I could work through my issues. That I could change." - Female, 16yo. Funds raised directly and through initiatives like #Febfast do make a difference to the young people that we work with.

05.01.2022 Being part of #febfast is a blast ... and a little embarassing! #pauseforacause

05.01.2022 #Febfast is over for another year and it was a wild ride. Ups and downs. Lefts and rights. But it was and is worth it. We greatly appreciate everyone is participated and know that it all counts!! "Being let into their [young people] lives to help and support them as best they need is an amazing feeling that cannot be described. To see them grow throughout their time with our service is a main reason why I love my job." - Ben

04.01.2022 The NSW Government has trialled on-the-spot fines for drug possession at music festivals. Noffs' Acting CEO Mark Ferry spoke to the The Sydney Morning Herald about the most effective way to minimise harm to young people. "If we can talk to young people about their drug use and ramifications, those conversations and interventions can have a big impact on their life's trajectory rather than the blunt instrument of a fine."
