Wada Wanti: leave the ice alone!

Ice use in Australia

The number of people using ice in Australia has increased in many communities.

Wada Wanti is a web-app designed to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who use ice to use less or stop using.

It was developed with help from many people, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have used ice.

The 'Wada Wanti: Leave the Ice Alone' web-app

Wada Wanti is free, private (your information is not shared with anyone) and it's easy to use.

Wada Wanti is available to people to use by themselves, or with extra support from participating health services.

Who is this program for?

This web-app is designed for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people who use methamphetamine (ice), but anyone using methamphetamine is welcome to give it a go. If you have any questions about the web-app, please email: [email protected].
