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 Coroner’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.
