Living with drugs

Get involved
There are lots of ways to get involved and support QuIHN. Some of these include joining one of our staff teams, becoming a volunteer in one of our regions, undertaking a student placement with us, becoming a consumer representative, or donating or making a bequest.
We are founded by the communities for which we exist & serve
QuIHN arose from a community mobilising response to HIV and later Hepatitis C. Our primary founding body QuIVAA Inc still exists as the Peak Peer Body, representing the interests of people who use drugs in Queensland.
QuIVAA Inc is active in the governance of QuIHN, and together we work from a peer-led approach and within a harm minimisation framework with a particular focus on harm reduction.
