Cessation supports offered to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are not always culturally-safe or effectively delivered. The Koori Quit Pack provided Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with culturally-safe smoking cessation support delivered for and by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, demonstrating mailout smoking cessation supports as acceptable and highly valued. Mailout support eliminates accessibility barriers to cessation care while providing tools and knowledge to quit can lead to smoke-free behaviours among individuals and communities. Country-wide availability of this program can accelerate reductions in tobacco use, helping meet national targets and improve health outcomes consistent with the National Tobacco Strategy and the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
