Welcome to CAAMA 

CAAMA (Community for Action Against Meth Amphetamine) is a community response to the crystal methamphetamine epidemic growing in Sydney as a result of the politicking and inaction of our health organisations.

CAAMA aims to serve as an educational resource for everyone from teachers, publishers, gay venues and businesses to GLBTQIs of all ages and social demographics, and as a lobby group to motivate an appropriate response from funded organisations.

"We believe that everyone has the right to specific, explicit information about the dangers of crystal meth, in order to be able to make an informed choice before they use."                  

Just as with other public health threats and preventions, like HIV/AIDS and safe(r) sex, the GLBTQI community in Sydney needs to be talking about ice. CAAMA has sought to raise public awareness and has achieved considerable success in this regard, getting credible recognition in Parliament on October 25, taking the message to the SBS Insight programme and SBS Radio World Views, plus our survey results were released. Our free download posters have appeared in various supportive venues. Our list of supporters and Friends of CAAMA has grown to hugely encouraging proportions. Since CAAMA's inception, the response by government (at federal level) has been stepped up pledging $150 million to fighting 'ice' ($80million will go to non-government organisations).  It’s therefore not governments who have been reluctant to act, but non-government health organisations that are funded by governments to deal with issues like this. Most of the AIDS sector has been so caught up in its own self-serving politics that a simple warning to communities about crystal’s dangers has been ignored despite endless community input. Statements by various Australian AIDS and other health sector executives, vehemently opposing crystal meth campaigns, are documented on our Quotes page.

CAAMA is a non-profit and volunteer organisation and is proud to be affiliated with Life or Meth London. Free Poster Downloads
