The Australian Government announced funding to redevelop and modernise the My QuitBuddy app in the 2023–24 Budget. A refreshed version, updated to include support to quit vaping as well as smoking, is available for download now. There will be ongoing updates from mid-2024, including improved quit plans, games, and forum features.
About My QuitBuddy
Quitting smoking and vaping can be difficult but My QuitBuddy is here to help you every step of the way. Designed to deliver you support in a way best-suited to you, My QuitBuddy helps you get, and stay, smoke-free and vape-free.
You can easily customise the My QuitBuddy app. For example:
- choose to 'Quit Now', ‘Continue Quitting’, or prepare to 'Quit Later'
- set your goals and understand your motivations to quit
- nominate friends or family who can help you in the tough times
- view your progress, including a count of every day, hour and minute you stay vape or smoke-free and how much money you've saved
- nominate any ‘Danger Times’ and My QuitBuddy will send you notifications to keep you on track
- engage in a range of distractions to occupy your mind and your hands through any moments of craving
- read helpful messages from other people who are quitting with My QuitBuddy and leave your own for others to read.
