We have successfully fought alongside health, justice, peer and community sector organisations for the introduction of a Medically Supervised Injecting Centre into the City of Yarra to stem the loss of life from fatal overdoses in our local community. Our work has included submissions to the Coronerโ€™s Court, a Parliamentary Inquiry into the Pilot Program, and work with allied health and legal practitioners. The Medically Supervised Injecting Centre began operating in North Richmond in July 2018.
