Victoria is set to get its second safe injecting room, opposite the Queen Victoria Market, after the government was handed a report showing the North Richmond injecting room had been overwhelmed by demand.
The state government last month received the independent review of the two-year trial of the medically supervised injecting room, which ends on June 29. It has accepted all of the report's recommendations. It had succeeded in its goal of saving lives and managing overdoses, and had also referred people to 13,000 health and social support interventions like housing, mental health and family violence supports.
The Cohealth community health service on Victoria Street offers a range of allied health services, including drug and alcohol counselling, homelessness and mental health services.
Certainly a crazy world we live in how about getting off the drugs
That's the end of my shopping at the Vic Market..
No suburb of decent people, want drug dealers and druggies around their neighbourhoods.. Daniel Andrews .. you try living next door to Druggies.. You wouldn't do it. Neither does anyone else.
Get a Life.. Give them a future.. make mandatory Army training for people who need a second chance. Stop the injecting rooms.. Stop the free needles for doing this.. Give Youth a Future. Give them a Career.. Give them Army Training. Heal their Souls.
Time to be voting Daniel Andrews out. Since needles were deployed in Melbourne.. that's when the drugs increased 10 fold.. from the 80s.. Now he wants injecting rooms too.. Stop movies showing how to shoot up.. stop drugs coming into our society killing our youth. War on Drugs.
Another WTF dumb decision by Dan Andrews. I am sure the tourists and traders would be delighted to be harassed and attacked by drug addicts and seeing drugs being sold etc. And of course QVM and Melbourne City council were not consulted.
These facilities save lives. Stand strong against the NIMBYs Dan Andrews.
A home away from home for law-breaking drug abusers. GREAT!
Looking after the druggies while supporting the drug dealers business. Great work DanielAndrewsMP. You're the best! worstpremierever
smh. Bad choice.
Job keeper for the dealers. We have to look after our dealers
You posses or smoke marijuana you get arrested you take methamphetamine or any chemical drug to a government run building it's perfectly ok.🤔 Ya I'm confused to
so the richmond injecting room is creating more drug users, therefore increasing suppliers and the crime that comes with drug use and purchase. Absolute idiot govt. 7NewsMelbourne 9NewsMelb 10NewsFirst 3AW693 TomElliott3AW theheraldsun ACurrentAffair9 abcnews newscomauHQ
RIP Vic market
A second site.. the first site hasn't worked!
Looks a good spot.......many druggies around North Melbourne area. Regulating without employees involved in sales seems to be the real problem that police seem to turn a blind eye on. Just decriminalize I reckon........no black market means no corruption and no drug crimes.
