Partners

Over 70 organisations are partners of the Fair Treatment campaign. They have joined with the Uniting Church and Uniting to call for a fairer and more compassionate approach to drug use and dependency and for our laws to be based on evidence rather than stigma.

Partners align with Fair Treatment’s two main aims:

  1. Law reform for a primary health-response to personal possession of currently illicit drugs or “decriminalisation” and;
  2. More funding for alcohol and other drug treatment services.
