This national campaign is funded by the National Tackling Indigenous Smoking Program.
Flip the Vape is now a national population health promotion campaign delivered in partnership with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) across Australia. Grounded in community leadership and collaboration, the campaign supports First Nations peoples to prevent and quit tobacco and vaping use. The original campaign was delivered in 2025 as a statewide population health promotion initiative led by the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS).
We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the many lands on which we work, travel and deliver programs, and pay respect to Elders past and present.
