Our Logo

Our logo was created by Larrakia artist Jason Lee and Dagoman/Wardaman graphic designers at Coolamon Creative. The 14 black & white hand and the 14 blue circles represent the 14 main communities where we work and the dots around the outside represent the outstations associated with these communities.

Links

Our work is guided by the The tobacco control CQI guide for health services in the NT.

The Tackling Indigenous Smoking Resource and Information Centre has information about the Tackling Indigenous Smoking program and the work of other Tackling Indigenous Smoking teams
