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:
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.
To access the Care Coordination service you must be referred through the Alcohol and Drug Services (ADS) by you, your GP or by another service or health professional.
ADS is a free alcohol and drug treatment service funded by the Tasmanian Government Department of Health. They have clinics in Hobart, Launceston and Ulverstone.
Care Coordination is supported by the Crown through the Department of Health (Tasmania).
Anglicare Tasmania has a Alcohol and other Drug Helpline which operates Monday to Friday between 9 am and 5 pm.
You can call it on 1800 161 266
If you would like to be referred, or refer someone to the Care Coordination Service, you need to contact Alcohol and Drug Services.
They require an Intake and Referral Form to be completed. You can find the form here.

ADS has offices located in Hobart, Launceston and Ulverstone.
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.
