What a deadly week at Freedom Festival! 🙌🏽

Last week, the Big Rivers TIS team joined the celebrations in Kalkaringi. We yarned with community about staying smoke and v**e free, while enjoying the music, activities and good times.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the 1966 Wave Hill Walk-Off. Led by Vincent Lingiari, 200 Gurindji, Mudburra and Warlpiri people stood up against poor working conditions and injustice. Their brave action helped start the Aboriginal Land Rights movement.

We were proud to be part of this important event. Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a yarn about keeping our families and communities smoke and v**e free.

Your reason to quit can be close to home. 🏠

For many people, family is the biggest reason to cut down or quit smoking. 🚭

Kids, grandkids, partners, aunties, uncles, and community all need strong people around them.

Yarn with your local clinic mob, if you're looking to quit the smokes.

Want to run, kick, dance, and play stronger? 💪🏽

Smoking can make it harder to breathe when you play sport or move around. Smoke-free choices help your body stay strong. Whether it’s footy, basketball, dancing, walking, or playing with kids, healthy lungs help you keep going. 🫁

Be smoke free for your family. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

When adults make smoke-free choices, kids see strong role models. Keeping smoke away from kids helps protect their little lungs. It also shows them that healthy choices matter. 🚭

Let’s help our young ones grow up strong and smoke-free. 🫁

Strong lungs help you do the things you love.

When you cut down on smoking, your body starts to feel the change. You may breathe easier, move better, and feel stronger for family, sport, hunting, fishing, and time on Country. Your lungs matter. Your health matters.
