COVID-19 resources for AOD workers & services

Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to significantly impact the Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) sector in Australia, particularly residential rehabilitation centres. Several peak bodies have created practical evidence-based information and resources for the AOD sector to support workers, clients and services during this time (see links below).

There are also helplines and online support services which can provide information and support for people who are experiencing problems with ice and other drugs, and their families. For more information visit our Get Help page.
