FairTreatment is a campaign formed by the Uniting Church NSW ACT and Uniting in 2018, with over 70 partner organizations, advocating for fair treatment and sensible drug policies. They aim to create a world where everyone, including people who use drugs, is treated with dignity and respect, and where evidence-based drug laws and accessible treatment services are available to all. Through their efforts, they seek to shift stigma surrounding drugs and promote a compassionate, health-focused approach to drug dependency.
Uniting urges the NSW Government to adopt drug checking in response to recent festival overdoses, and the campaign also highlights the importance of a 5-day Parliamentary Drug Summit in 2024. With a focus on rural and regional areas, FairTreatment aims to increase access to treatment services and advocate for a wellbeing-based response to drug dependency. They emphasize the need for political leaders to listen to evidence and modernize drug laws for the benefit of the community.
