Care Coordination Service

For people in alcohol and drug programs

Anglicare Tasmania’s state wide Care Coordination Service coordinates services for people who have significant alcohol and drug issues and one or more other challenges which can include:

an acquired brain injury
mental or physical health issues
intellectual or cognitive impairments
risk-taking behaviours

factors in their environment that pose a risk (such as family violence).

Together with you, your care is coordinated to ensure the most appropriate services are provided. You are supported to play an active role in the decision-making.

Tyson's story*

Before I started the Care Coordination program, my life was a mess.

I used drugs, gambled my money, had nowhere to live and suffered from depression and anxiety.

I started the program ten months ago.

Since then things have improved heaps as a result of the support I got from my worker.

I have somewhere secure to live, I’ve reduced drugs and gambling and I’ve got a more optimistic outlook on life.
