Queensland will establish the first of two fixed pill-testing clinics in Brisbane this year, the first Australian state to back the harm reduction strategy on an ongoing basis.

The Rabbits Eat Lettuce festival near Warwick will be the first ever to conduct pill testing on site, at the end of the month. In 2019, two people died after taking drugs at the festival.
