🎈 On May 6th 2026, the Uniting Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC) turned 25 years old. Users News attended this week's event at NSW parliament, which was a celebration of MSIC's many achievements, but also a call for what comes next.

🗨️ Peers spoke about shame, survival, and what it means to be treated like a human being. Former premiers reflected on the political battles it took to get here. One question kept surfacing: if we know this works, why does NSW law still only allow one? ❓️

NSW’s commitment to ending HIV transmission continues with the launch of the NSW HIV Strategy 2026–2030.

The Strategy builds on strong progress in HIV prevention, testing and treatment across the state, while strengthening the focus on equity and access for communities that have not benefited equally.

Developed in partnership with community organisations, clinicians, researchers and people most affected by HIV, the Strategy sets out a coordinated, evidence‑based approach to further reduce transmission and support people living with HIV to live long, healthy lives.

To view the Strategy, visit: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/endinghiv/Pages/NSW-HIV-Strategy-2026-2030.aspx

This week is National Volunteer week. Volunteers are a big part of NUAA's programs. From our peer distributors to the DanceWize NSW volunteers, we could not operate without any of them.

To everyone who has volunteered with NUAA we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Perhaps it was handing out equipment at the Crown St NSP or in your own community, perhaps it was giving your time to be part of a panel or advisory group, perhaps it was supporting your peers at a music festival. Whatever it was, it made a difference.

Thank you 🩷
