A massive thank you goes out to the Northern Territory Government for funding the ATC International Women's Day luncheon in March.

Methamphetamine Outreach Boxing and Music Program

March 31, 2023
Last year MOT successfully applied for a Grant through the NT Government Community Benefit Fund to purchase boxing and music equipment as an additional support program for DASA clients. After a period of setting up and waiting for the delivery of equipment, the team are proud to announce both these programs are now in full swing. Several clients have recorded an EP and the Boxing program is used twice weekly by Aranda House residents. The MOT Case Managers have been using these opportunities to connect with the clients and have seen positive outcomes already in these early days.  Great work guys and we look forward to further updates from the program!
