Harm Reduction Australia and ScriptWise are joining forces to host a national summit in Canberra on May 23 to re-think outdated policies and increase access to opioid treatment. The current system, the two organisations say, must be updated to ensure Australia avoids continuing on a trajectory towards the opioid crisis currently being seen in the US.
“People who are opioid dependent have the same right to high-quality health care as other Australians,” says Harm Reduction Australia co-founder Annie Madden.
