Ice use in Australia
The number of people using ice in Australia has increased in recent years in many communities.
We Can Do This is designed to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who use ice to reduce or stop using.
It was developed with input from many people, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have used ice.
The 'We Can Do This' research program
We Can Do This is a free, confidential and easy to use web-app that was being trialling as part of a research program to see if it could help improve the wellness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who use ice.
Who was this program for?
Anyone who is 16 years old or older; is Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and has used methamphetamine (ice) about weekly or more often for the past three months was invited to take part in the We Can Do This trial.
