The ‘National Quit Training and Resource Centre for Nicotine Cessation’ (‘Quit Centre’) is a national best practice support service for nicotine cessation.
Its goal is to ensure Australian health professionals have the latest clinical information, resources and training on smoking and vaping cessation to support their patients as part of routine care.
The Quit Centre’s comprehensive and practical resources and training have been created by health professionals with extensive knowledge of smoking and vaping cessation. The resources and training will be updated continually; informed by emerging research and insights from ongoing consultation with Quitline counsellors, general practitioners and pharmacists.
More specifically, it will provide:
Accredited online training specific to primary health care professionals
Clinical tools and guidelines for providing smoking and vaping cessation care
Professional development opportunities including webinars and podcasts
Latest news and research
Information about Quitline, including referral instructions.
The Quit Centre has been developed by the Quit unit of Cancer Council Victoria, and is made possible by funding from the AustralianGovernment Department of Health under the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Program. The Quit Centre also acknowledges with thanks the significant investment by VicHealth to create the foundational knowledge-base and online training platform, and the extensive and ongoing in kind support from Cancer Council Victoria.
