The ACT government, ACT Health, ACT Police and Ted Noffs Foundation trialled pill testing at the Groovin the Moo festival on Sunday.
The Commission is looking closely at the outcomes of this trial as part of our pledge to consider new, evidence-based, innovative harm reduction strategies to keep young people safe.

6 年Courageous idea! However it seems a great idea and likely saved two lives on this occasion! Wow. Great harm reduction intervention. When are you doing a trial? Introducing it??
