The Koori Way is a statewide population health promotion campaign, co-designed and facilitated by multiple Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations across Victoria to discourage Koori people across Victoria from using tobacco and vaping products.
This campaign is funded by the National Tackling Indigenous Smoking program.
The Koori Way respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the many lands on which we work, travel and deliver programs, and pay respect to Elders past and present.
