Description

The Opioid Safety Toolkit is a free, evidence-based online resource that supports safer use of prescription opioids. Co-designed with consumers, healthcare professionals and advocacy groups, it empowers people with clear, practical information to reduce the risk of opioid-related harms. Australia has one of the highest opioid prescribing rates globally, with over 1,000 opioid related deaths in 2022 alone. The Toolkit is now widely accessible through consumer organisations and community pharmacies and has been used over 65,000 times, helping to improve health outcomes and reduce the personal and societal burden of opioid-related harm.
