Harm Reduction Australia (HRA) is a national organisation for individuals across Australia to join together in their commitment to reducing the health, social and economic harms potentially associated with drug use. Making your voice heard is crucial if we are to achieve more humane, effective and balanced drug policies in Australia and beyond. To help join now and show your support.
‘Harm Reduction’ Refers to policies, programs and practices that aim primarily to reduce the adverse health, social and economic consequences of the use of legal and illegal psychoactive drugs, without necessarily reducing drug consumption.
Harm Reduction benefits people who use drugs, their families and the community.

Refers to the freedom of an individual to control their own mental processes, cognition, and consciousness. This includes the right to alter those processes in a manner the individual chooses and the right to not have those processes manipulated without knowledge.
Enpsychedelia is a plaform for stories and discussion on altered states of consciousness arising from the diverse range of psychoactive substances.
Enpsychedelia neither condones nor condemns people’s use of illegal or legal drugs.
Section 3.1 of the CBAA Code of Practice states that (our) community radio station will not, “present as desirable the use of illegal drugs, the misuse of to***co or alcohol as well as other harmful substances.”
Section 123 (3)(d) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 requires that all radio and television industry groups develop a code of practice that reflects ‘community attitudes’ regarding, “the portrayal in programs of the use of drugs, including alcohol and to***co.”
Enpsychedelia exists to provide a voice to those who do use illegal drugs, without promoting their choice of substance use to others.
The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) unites community broadcaster through six guiding principles:
Promote harmony and diversity and contribute to an inclusive, cohesive and culturally-diverse Australian community
