The new behaviour change program aims to reduce mosquito exposure risks in individual homes and regional communities in the Northern Rivers. 

The aims of this program are to: 

• reduce backyard mosquito breeding habitats through source reduction behaviours 

• improve other community behaviours that prevent mosquito exposure risks 

• to reduce the public health risks associated with exposure to mosquitoes through community action. 

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the workshop is being held online, but there will be some interactive activities where you will have an opportunity to give your feedback and share your creative ideas. 

This project has been assisted by the NSW Government and supported by Local Government NSW.
