Festival season is here. Drug checking is now a permanent part of the NSW festival scene, DanceWize NSW peers are roving, and Naloxone is reaching more hands than ever. Here’s what’s changed, and what it means for you. 

We caught up with Brodie Daniels, DanceWize NSW Coordinator and NUAA's new Drug Checking Lead, to hear what all of this looks like on the ground. 

The music was loud, the crowds were sweaty, and somewhere in the thick of it all, near the medical tent, in the middle of a mosh pit, or crouched beside someone on the grass, there were the wolves.  

DanceWize NSW have just wrapped up another summer festival season, and boy was it a big one. 

As the season winds down and the team takes a well-earned breather, we asked some of the crew to reflect on what it's been like out there on the ground.
