Turning Point Drug & Alcohol Centre

Turning Point Alcohol & Drug Centre was established in 1994 to provide leadership to the drug and alcohol field in Victoria, Australia.

Turning Point amalgamated with public health provider, Eastern Health in October 2009 and is formally affiliated with Monash University.

We are part of the International Network of Drug Treatment & Rehabilitation Resource Centres for the United Nations Office of Drugs & Crime (UNODC), and a member of the International Harm Reduction Association. We are also a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and an accredited Higher Education Provider.

We strive to promote and maximise the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities living with, and affected by alcohol and other drug-related harms.

We aspire to be a world leading treatment and research centre in the drug and alcohol field by:

creating thriving service delivery, research and development cultures that produce the best possible knowledge
applying research to promote change and contribute to policy making
building our community capacity through strategic relationships, partnerships and collaborations

The organisation integrates activities across a diverse range of specialist knowledge and professional practice which enables us to translate evidence based research into action.
