Your funding, made simple
Your health network pays for your program.
Here’s how.
Primary Health Networks are funded by the Australian Government to pay for health care in their local area. Yours funds a limited number of places in our program for people who live there. Your answers show you meet the clinical criteria, and you live in a funded area. So the next step is simply to book.
With a funded place, your program costs you nothing. The only costs are any medication you collect from your local pharmacy, and most of it is PBS-subsidised.

Your care, step by step
This isn’t a one-week detox.
It’s a 12-month program.
Our program follows the clinical guideline for alcohol recovery: a safe detox followed by long-term aftercare. The difference is that you do it from home, with the same clinicians the whole way through.
Personal support. From the comfort of home.

Support that feels personal
Your life.
Your goals.
Your care team.
One nurse, all year.
No repeating your story to someone new. And if the fit isn’t right, you can switch.
At home, on your terms.
Most clients need less time off work than they would with an in-clinic detox. We ask you to tell a close friend or family member and your GP, but no one else.
Support that doesn’t stop after detox.
Eleven months of aftercare, because detox alone isn’t enough.
Your goal, not ours.
Stopping completely or cutting down, we build the plan around you.
Doctors who specialise in this.
Our team is led by GPs and nurses with years of experience in alcohol and drug care.

A little more clarity
Your questions,
answered.
Is it really $0?
Yes, once your funded place is confirmed. Your health network pays the full program cost. The only costs are medication and dispensing fees at your pharmacy, and most medication is PBS-subsidised.
Who can get a funded place?
People who live in a partner health network area and meet the clinical criteria. Each network funds a limited number of places. We confirm your place with you after you book.
Is it confidential?
Yes. We only share your information with your consent, or if the law requires it.*
Do I have to tell anyone?
You’ll need a close friend or family member to support you during detox week, and you’ll need to let your GP know. You don’t need to tell your employer or anyone else.
Can I detox safely at home?
Most people can. Your nurse and doctor assess you first. If home detox isn’t safe for you, they’ll recommend other options.
Should I change my drinking before my first appointment?
No. Please don’t change your drinking until you’ve spoken with our team.
