What is iSISTAQUIT?

iSISTAQUIT is a wrap-around support for pregnant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who want to quit smoking/vaping.

It involves a model of care designed with culturally appropriate national best practice training. iSISTAQUIT provides vital training for health professionals and encouragement to communities and pregnant women to quit smoking/vaping.

Having culturally specific approaches to assist women to quit smoking/vaping through a pathway of support helps First Nations women navigate health and wellbeing systems safely.

After the initial clinical trials and testing of our training and resources involving over 40 health services throughout Australia, including many Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHOs), the iSISTAQUIT program is ready to expand its rollout.

Our free self-paced 4-hour online smoking and vaping cessation training is now available to

  1. Individual health professionals e.g., midwives, nurses, Aboriginal health workers, GPs, and Obstetricians,
  2. And to health services e.g., ACCHOs, Medical Centres and Hospitals.
