Our Mission: To advance the health, human rights and dignity of people who use or have used illicit drugs.
The NSW Users and AIDS Association (NUAA) is a peer-based drug user organisation. NUAA strives to improve our advocacy for, and services supporting, the diversity of people impacted by stigma and discrimination caused by the criminalisation of drug use across NSW through working with a broad range of stakeholders and partners to support system change.

Outreach and Peer Support
NUAA travels throughout NSW to deliver and distribute injecting equipment through established networks in line with the NSW Needle and Syringe Programs Guidelines. Our network of volunteers and peer workers receive training, advice and support as they develop into peer professionals who will pass the empowerment, safety and right-to-health approach along and through their networks and connections.
