Pledge Tamworth Region

Sign the pledge to show your support for additional support and services for the Tamworth Region.

The people of the Tamworth region want to be a part of a community that cares for one another and values the health, wellbeing and safety of its members. This means delivering the services necessary to meet the community’s needs.

There is a consensus amongst local community members and stakeholders that there is a need for more local Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) treatment including:

Mentoring program
Residential rehab and local detox
Culturally Appropriate Trauma Informed Wellness Centre

These asks were based on our community survey and consultation of local people and organisations on what is needed most in the community.

Inspired by our work in helping to secure funding for a rehab in Dubbo, the message from local people was that the gaps in treatment services in town were great and that they wanted to work with us to make change happen in their community.

Pledge your support for these goals and call on the State Government to commit to funding additional services in the NSW State Budget.

Interested in becoming a partnering organisation?

Partners align with Fair Treatment’s two main aims:

Law reform for a primary health-response to personal possession of currently illicit drugs or “decriminalisation” and;
More funding for alcohol and other drug treatment services. For more details, read the Discussion Paper.

New South Wales Needs Better Drug Diversion

Too many people in NSW face court instead of support

Strict eligibility rules, a two-strike limit and poor implementation mean many people in NSW miss out on drug diversion. To keep the people we love safe, this needs to change.
