Needle and Syringe Program

The Needle and Syringe Program (NSP) provides an important point of contact for injecting drug users to access information and education relating to their drug use and for referrals to drug treatment programs.

The NSP also provides education and information relating to injecting drug use issues to members of the public, and provides services for the appropriate disposal of used injecting equipment.

There are approximately 90 Needle and Syringe Programs Outlets around Tasmania.
