About Harm Reduction Australia
Harm Reduction Australia (HRA) is a national organization dedicated to reducing the health, social, and economic harms associated with drug use. As a membership-based organization, HRA represents the views of individuals working in the health, welfare, and law enforcement sectors, as well as concerned family members, consumers, students, and advocates for harm reduction policies in Australia. Formed in 2015, HRA was established by a group of professionals who were concerned about drug policy in Australia.
With a focus on harm minimization, Australia's National Drug Strategy has historically supported evidence-based approaches to addressing drug use. However, in recent years, this commitment has weakened among government signatories. HRA's goal is to ensure that drug policies in Australia prioritize harm reduction and provide tangible benefits to society.
They neither condemn nor condone drug use but recognize the importance of mitigating its negative effects on individuals, families, and communities. HRA advocates for non-judgmental, evidence-based, and humane responses to drug use. Their objectives include developing a network of individuals and organizations dedicated to best practice harm reduction, educating the public and decision-makers about the effectiveness of harm reduction policies, and advocating for reforms that eliminate imprisonment, stigmatization, discrimination, and human rights violations against people who use drugs.
Through their work, HRA strives to reduce the harmful impact of drug use in Australia by implementing sensible, evidence-based, and safer drug policies
