About Us

The HALT Association NSW was officially launched in September 2022 where a Board was elected at the AGM. One of the first tasks of the Board was to confer a Constitution and establish a Mission Statement and subsequent key aims. These have become the foundation of the Association and ensure that all activities align with the key objectives.
