Alcohol and Other Drugs

Your AOD harm reduction hub.

What you need to know

From substance use savvy to harm reduction hacks, we've got the lowdown.
To help reduce and minimise harm, we have included a series of short videos for commonly used substances including vapes, alcohol and illicit drugs. These short videos will help you understand what each substance is, what effects to look out for, and tips + strategies to keep yourself and others safe.

For confidential alcohol and drug counselling and referrals in Victoria, please call DirectLine (1800 888 236). This service is available 24 hours, 7 days and is available via phone or online. 

We believe in the evidence base and philosophy behind the principles of harm reduction and minimisation. We don't promote the use of substances or excessive use of alcohol, however we do understand people's right to choose for themselves. What we believe in is providing practical strategies and advice to reduce the negative consequences of drug and alcohol use and we believe in the social justice movement around the rights and needs of people who use drugs.
