AOD services are not emergency services. If you or someone you know needs urgent medical help, call Triple Zero (000) or go to your nearest emergency department.
AOD FCF services are free services across NSW that support families, carers, friends or kin of people experiencing alcohol or other drug-related harm.
These services help people look after their own health and wellbeing while supporting someone they care about.
AOD FCF services aim to:
Each service offers different types of support. Support may include counselling, peer support groups, yarning sessions or wellbeing programs. Some services also provide family and relationship support, advocacy, referrals, and family or cultural events. Some services also offer tailored programs for young people, people living in regional and rural areas or Aboriginal communities.
