The TIS program is embedded into member services with TIS teams at BRAMS, DAHS, YYMS and OVAHS. Supporting the TIS teams across the region is the KAMS TIS Regional Coordinator who works with member services and other key stakeholders to ensure the TIS program is consistent across the region, outcome focussed and contributing to an evidence base of what works in Aboriginal smoking cessation.

The TIS Program provides:

• Community education programs on smoking and its harmful effects.
• Facilitation of quit support groups.
• Delivery of Brief intervention training to Aboriginal Medical Service Staff and community professional who a regularly in contact with Aboriginal people.
• Training and support for workplaces and community spaces to become smoke free.

We also develop local smoke free programs and campaigns that are meaningful to Aboriginal people in the Kimberley.

Our goal is to support Aboriginal people to be the healthiest they can be.
