SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE
WHO USE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
THROUGHOUT QUEENSLAND
WE ARE FOUNDED BY THE
COMMUNITIES WE EXIST TO SERVE
AT QUIHN, OUR VISION IS
SIMPLE YET POWERFUL: MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
A world where all people who use substances can reach their full potential & the health & well-being outcomes of our communities are maximised.
OUR COMMUNITY
Community is the heart and soul of QuIHN. It's made up of a diverse and dedicated group of individuals
who share a common goal: to create meaningful change in the lives of those affected by substance use.
At QuIHN, our work is led by people with lived experience—peers who understand the challenges firsthand and are committed
to providing empathetic, non-judgmental support. Alongside them are our leaders and passionate advocates
who bring their expertise and vision to drive our mission forward.
HOW WE HELP
From overdose prevention and syringe access to testing, treatment, therapeutic programs and rehabilitation.
QuIHN offers a comprehensive range of services designed to support those who need it most.
Counselling + Group Programs
We provide confidential, compassionate counselling services and peer-led support groups to help individuals and families navigate the challenges of substance use. Our approach focuses on harm reduction and personal empowerment.
Needle Syringe Program
Through our Needle and Syringe Programs (NSPs), we offer safe injecting equipment to reduce the transmission of blood-borne viruses like Hepatitis C and HIV. We promote safer practices to help protect the health of people who inject drugs.
Testing + Treatment
Our comprehensive testing and treatment services ensure early detection and management of Hepatitis C, HIV, and other health conditions. We offer non-judgmental support to help individuals access the care they need, wherever they are in their journey.
Overdose Prevention
We provide access to life-saving tools
and education, including Naloxone, to
help prevent and reverse opioid overdoses.
Our goal is to equip individuals and
communities with the knowledge and
resources to respond effectively
and reduce harm.
Medical + Allied Health
Our specialised medical and allied health services address the physical and mental health needs of people who use drugs. From primary care to holistic treatments, we aim to enhance overall well-being through harm reduction strategies.
Prison Programs
We offer harm reduction education and support to individuals in correctional facilities, focusing on overdose prevention, Hepatitis C testing and treatment, and mental health services to ensure continuity of care during and after incarceration.
