Drug and Alcohol Program

Over the last several years the CSGPN has identified Drug and Alcohol as an important area for the focus of support and resources delivery to GPs.

Building Partnerships

In 2004, the CSGPN achieved a Memorandum of Understanding with the Central Sydney Area Drug Health Services, signaling a formal commitment on both sides to the process. Following this MoU, we continue to build strong links between GPs, Drug Health Services and local non government drug and alcohol non service providers.
