Overview

The Drug and alcohol clinical worker program is delivered through the Indigenous Wellbeing Centre. The role of the clinical worker is to provide alcohol and drug treatment interventions, with a harm minimisation approach, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The worker is based in Gayndah and delivers services in the North Burnett Region including Biggenden, Mundubbera, Eidsvold and Monto.

The program aims to provide clients who are experiencing harmful drug and alcohol abuse problems with the skills to set goals and achieve positive health outcomes through the development of case-managed treatment plans.
