The Morrison government has committed more than $800 million over four years from 1 July 2018 to reduce the impact of drug and alcohol misuse on individuals, families and communities through the drug and alcohol program. The Morrison government supports the use of naloxone. We have invested $10 million in a take-home naloxone pilot program, which is currently underway. Decisions relating to supervised injecting facilities and needle and syringe programs, including in prisons, are matters for individual states and territories.
