Central and Eastern Sydney PHN is funded to increase the capacity of alcohol and other drugs (AOD) services in the local area. We achieve this via evidence-based plans and service mapping activities that identify needs and gaps in the community. Our work aims to increase efficiencies within the AOD treatment space and to also facilitate easier access to AOD services.
This website provides tools and resources to help you navigate alcohol and other drugs treatment services that are available in Central and Eastern Sydney.
An evaluation of the CESPHN AOD Program was conducted between June and October 2025. Four key domains were examined: alignment with national treatment objectives, equity of access, consumer outcomes, and commissioning responsiveness. This summary document shares the key findings from the evaluation process.
If someone has attempted, or is at immediate risk of attempting to harm themselves or someone else, call triple zero (000) immediately.
