Alcohol, Smoking, and Vaping

Alcohol is the most commonly used drug in Australia. Drinking too much can harm your health and also hurt people around you. Smoking is one of the main causes of early death and serious illness, including cancer, heart disease and stomach ulcers. If you want help to quit, or want more information.

Smoke-Free Environments

The City of Kwinana, in partnership with the South Metropolitan Health Service, has introduced smoke and vape-free initiatives at key community spaces, including Kwinana Marketplace and the Darius Wells Library & Resource Centre. These projects aim to reduce exposure to tobacco and vaping, promote healthier choices, and create safer, more welcoming environments for everyone.

By embedding health messaging and smoke-free policies in high-traffic community areas, the City is helping residents make healthier decisions, protecting public health, and supporting the well-being of the local community.

Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mental health is about feeling well, managing stress, participating in work or study and being actively involved in your community. The City of Kwinana supports residents’ mental health through a variety of programs and events, including workshops, activities, and special initiatives during Mental Health Week.

These events provide opportunities to learn practical strategies for wellbeing, connect with others, and take part in activities that promote positive mental health. By encouraging social connection, physical activity, and engagement in meaningful activities, the City helps residents maintain and improve their overall mental wellbeing.

  • Belong: Be with others. Spend time with family, friends, or join a group like a sports team or book club.
  • Commit: Do something that matters to you. Volunteer, learn something new, help a neighbour, or take on a goal.
