That's a Wrap

We have officially wrapped up our TIS Workers Workshops for 2026, and what an incredible year it has been!

More than 300 people joined us across the Perth and Gold Coast workshops, bringing knowledge, experience, energy and strength into each space. From thoughtful presentations and practical workshops to important conversations between sessions, every person contributed to making these gatherings meaningful.

Your willingness to contribute openly and learn from one another is what makes our national TIS network so strong.

Across both workshops, we laughed, learned, planned and strengthened connections. We celebrated the great work happening in communities across the country and explored new ideas to support our shared goal of reducing tobacco and vaping harms among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We were also honoured by the honest and vulnerable moments shared throughout the workshops. These conversations reminded us that our work is about more than reporting. It is about people, families, communities and creating healthier futures for generations to come.

The passion and commitment across the TIS workforce continues to inspire us. Every conversation, new connection and shared experience strengthens the work we do for our mob. Whether you presented from the stage, contributed to a group discussion, shared a story or connected with another team over a cuppa, you helped make the workshops what they were.

We cannot wait to bring everyone together again at the National TIS Workers Workshop next year. More details will be shared in the coming months. In the meantime, we will carefully review your feedback and use it to shape a tailored workshop that reflects the needs, priorities and experiences of TIS teams across the country.

Until next year, keep doing incredible work and keep being deadly!
