If you have lived with alcohol and other drug issues we want to hear your experiences and ideas.

Our staff are touring the Loddon Mallee from next week to hold community consultation sessions and the information we gather and the things we learn from people who have been impacted by alcohol and drugs will be used to inform all organisations delivering AOD services across the Loddon-Mallee on what people needed, missed or desperately wanted during their experience.

We can use this information to inform services to ensure individuals and families get the help and support they need in the future.

Our staff want to sit down with people who have experienced problems with substance abuse, including family members and friends of people who have been impacted by the negative impacts of alcohol or drugs,” she said.

Your privacy and confidentiality will be respected and you can remain anonymous if you prefer.

Consultation session places are limited and to register your interest please contact project worker Leah Wastell at Bendigo Community Health Services by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 5448 1600 ASAP.
