THE SERVICE
Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation is an independent Aboriginal community controlled health service established in 1992, serving more than 8,500 people across East Arnhem Land from seven clinics and outreach. Its Social and Emotional Wellbeing service addresses family violence, clan conflict, self-harm and alcohol and drug misuse through crisis intervention, early intervention and prevention, and its mental health program places community-based workers in AOD and volatile substance abuse alongside clinicians. Services are walk-in and outpatient.

Ask the admissions team how withdrawal would be handled and how a transfer into treatment works.
CARE & DAILY LIFE
Ask about staff qualifications, medication policy, accessibility and any specific support needs before you decide. Almost no service in this directory publishes what it will and will not admit.
COST
We hold what this service publishes, and we do not put a price at the top of a profile for the public to sort on. The cheapest service on a page is rarely the right one for a particular person, and a quote that comes with the conversation about what is included is worth more than a band. Professional referrers see the figures in their workspace.
NDIS
ONGOING SUPPORT
Details of ongoing support are not published here. Ask the service what support is available when your treatment ends.
PROFESSIONAL ENDORSEMENTS
Endorsements come from registered professionals — psychologists, addiction GPs, lawyers, social workers — who have referred someone here and put their name to what happened. None yet does not mean poor ones: it means nobody has written one.
