We aimed to analyse data on use of the Quitline by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples nationally, specifically in TIS and non-TIS areas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analysed usage of the Quitline in seven jurisdictions across Australia in areas with and without TIS teams (TIS areas and non-TIS areas respectively) between 2016\u20132020. Demographic and usage characteristics were quantified.

Most (69%) clients were living in a TIS area. Two-thirds (66.4%) of referrals were from third\u2011party referrers rather than self-referrals. Overall, between 1.25% and 1.62% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who currently smoked were clients of Quitline (between 1.15\u20131.57% in TIS areas and 0.82\u20130.97% in non-TIS areas).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Quitline provided smoking cessation support to approximately 2500\u20133000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients annually between 2016\u20132020.
