Staff Quit Nicotine Pilot Staff starting their Quit smoking or vaping journey can now access 12 weeks of FREE Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). During 2025, the usual 4 weeks of free staff NRT is increased by 8 weeks, thanks to a pilot program between Population Health Promotion and Occupational Staff Health. This extension is in line with the NSW Heath NRT guidelines which recommend a minimum of 12 weeks of NRT for any quit attempt. For the first time the use of ‘combination therapy’ is available, which allows staff to access nicotine patches, as well as other fast acting NRT including Spray, Gum and Lozenges. Support for staff includes: • Occupational Staff Health assessment and support to manage nicotine dependence. • 12 weeks of FREE Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), inc. patches & additional fast acting NRT • Referral or sign-up to the NSW Quitline 137848 or www.icanquit.com.au
