Undertake supported referrals to relevant specialist services and provide support and advocacy to overcome barriers to access.
Actively participate in developing and implementing innovative models of service delivery in response to community needs.
Provide secondary consultation and training and education/ information sessions in relation to alcohol and other dug issues and broader wellbeing needs, engaging specialists to support this where required.
