Sydney WorldPride Portal
Welcome to ACON’s WorldPride portal for drug and alcohol information, education, and harm reduction.
This portal was created as a one-stop shop for all things harm reduction during WorldPride season, Mardi Gras and beyond. WorldPride may be over but 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 friends/loved ones this is the place for you.
ACON’s team at Pivot Point have prepared this information in this section in close collaboration with staff from New South Wales Users and AIDS (NUAA) and DanceWize NSW.
