A new pill testing service designed to reduce potential drug-related harm in the community has opened in Fitzroy.
The free, walk-in Victorian Pill Testing Service is located at 95 Brunswick Street and is open Thursdays from 12pm to 4pm, Fridays from 3pm to 7pm, and Saturdays from 1pm to 7pm.
The service allows people to check the contents of drugs and receive tailored, evidence-based advice to help them make informed decisions.
The service is legal, confidential and open to all Victorians, offering year-round access to testing, health information and harm reduction advice.
Its location, close to public transport, nightlife, and community health and social services, makes it accessible to a broad range of people.
While Victoria’s mobile pill testing service operates at events, the Fitzroy fixed site offers consistent availability, more comprehensive testing capabilities, longer health consultations, and direct referrals to health and support services.
The Victorian Pill Testing Service is part of the state’s health-led approach to reducing drug harms. It is funded by the Victorian Department of Health.
