Half a Million Steps screening
In October 2018, as part of the Fair Treatment campaign, 100 supporters walked the 500,000 steps from Dubbo to deliver a message to NSW Parliament in Sydney – highlighting how far a person in regional NSW may have to travel to reach the drug treatment they need. This Long Walk to Treatment has now been made into a powerful and moving documentary, telling the personal stories behind a movement to reform drug laws and policy and make treatment available to all.
A free screening of this documentary is being held in November, followed by a panel discussion with leading academics, service providers, consumer representatives and policy makers in the Drug and Alcohol Sector.
Time: 6pm to 8pm
Date: Monday 18th November
Location: The Roundhouse, UNSW

The screening is being co-hosted by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, the Kirby Institute, the Centre for Social Research in Health and the Social Policy Research Centre. The documentary is part of the Fair Treatment campaign spearheaded by Uniting, which calls for drug law reform and enhanced access to treatment and harm reduction services in NSW and ACT.
