About SMLC
About Substance Misuse Limestone Coast
Substance Misuse Limestone Coast provides leadership by advocating that alcohol and other drug use is a complex health issue.
We do this by delivering evidence-based services to reduce harm and improve individual and community wellbeing.
Since 2015 SLMC have built strong relationships with South Australian Network of Drug & Alcohol Services (SANDAS), the Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF), SAPOL and the Limestone Coast’s seven councils.
SMLC works in partnership with key agencies and service providers in the region’s seven Local Government Areas to deliver AOD health promotion, education and workforce training and advocacy. Since inception in 2015, SMLC has evolved to become a strong leader in the regional and state AOD space, moving from an initial working party to becoming an incorporated body with charity status in October 2020.
SMLC has an in depth understanding of our community’s needs and is focused on supporting and implementing resources and solutions that are underpinned by national and international evidence based best practices.
SMLC’s strategic vision includes building awareness of emerging trends in alcohol and other drug issues and bringing best-practice solutions to the Limestone Coast and to develop a community-based collaborative model to suit the complex needs of our region.
SMLC is currently funded through grants from the Department of Health and Aged Care.
