DOWNLOAD EBOOK →One strategy to combat petrol sniffing in remote Indigenous communities in Australia is to use aviation fuel (Avgas) in place of traditional car petrol. The Comgas Scheme, introduced in 1998, provides a government subsidy to defray the cost of the fuel. This report presents findings from an evaluation of the Scheme, investigating the safety and effectiveness of Avgas, the nature and extent of petrol sniffing, the health impacts of petrol sniffing, and other intervention strategies and community approaches. It features selected case studies and surveys with 33 communities who have used the Comgas Scheme. The evaluation found that the intervention is an established, safe and effective method to help reduce the harm caused by petrol sniffing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This open access book deals with community-based attempts on the part of Aboriginal communities and groups in Australia to address harms arising from alcohol misuse. Alcohol-related harms are viewed as both a product of colonisation and dispossession and a contributor to ongoing social, economic and health-related disadvantage, both in Australia and in other countries with colonised Indigenous populations, such as Canada, the US and New Zealand. This book contributes to an evidence-base by bringing together a selection of existing Australian documents considered by the editors to have continuing relevance to all those concerned with dealing with alcohol-related harms among Aboriginal peoples, These are contextualised in original chapters that recount key events, ideas, and programs. The book is a practical resource for all people and groups concerned with addressing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander alcohol-related harms, both at the community level and at the level of policy-making and administration.

In this executive summary, the main findings are itemised; however, because petrol sniffing, when it occurs, is invariably a product of a complex mix of causes findings should not be considered in isolation.
