Important Information FDS Update regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) As FDS is a National organisation, we operate across a number of jurisdictions. We work with the information being provided to our workers in each state regarding re-opening of groups and courses. Therefore, not all States will re-open at the same time. As our groups/courses/events re-open, our website will be the most up-to-date source of accurate information. In the meantime, we are pushing additional resources towards our 24/7 Support phone line: 24/7 Telephone Line: 1300 368 186 You can call this line anytime for Family support. An additional option is to visit the FDS: Website: https://www.fds.org.au/ Where you will find resources/tools and on-line videos which you will find beneficial. Family Drug Support Online for Families: https://www.fdsonline.org.au/ Interactive tool based on a typical Support Group. We apologise for any inconvenience but assure you that as soon as we are able to, it is our priority to resume our groups and courses on a regular, on-going basis. We appreciate your patience and wish everyone the very best during this period of uncertainty.
