Rover Party Portal
Welcome to ACON’s Rover Party portal for drug and alcohol information, education, and harm reduction.
This portal is a one-stop shop on all things harm reduction for LGBTQ+ communities. Mardi Gras is always an amazing time, and every event is an opportunity to look after yourself and others in our community. Whether you are partying, taking a break from substances or looking to support your mates, this is the place to start.
ACON’s Harm Reduction team have prepared this information in this portal in close collaboration our mates from New South Wales Users and AIDS (NUAA) and DanceWize NSW.
