Supporting Victoria’s 10-Year Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Strategy to Reduce Harm and Build Healthier Communities

Our Victorian team is committed to reducing harm and promoting wellbeing by supporting the Victorian Government’s AOD Strategy 2025 – 2035 – a bold 10-year vision built on care and connection.

The Victorian AOD Strategy focuses on five key areas:

• • Information and access – ensuring people receive accurate, non-stigmatising information.
  • Harm reduction and treatment – expanding pathways to care and support.
  • Culturally safe responses – empowering Aboriginal Victorians with self-determined solutions.
  • System innovation – building continuous improvement into services.
  • Integration – connecting AOD services with mental health, housing, justice, and community systems.

This holistic approach recognises that substance use is a health issue, not a criminal one, and calls for strong partnerships across government, industry, and community.

How Alcolizer Technology Supports This Vision

Our Melbourne-based team is dedicated to helping organisations meet their duty of care by providing drug and alcohol testing solutions, onsite testing, training, AOD awareness and education and policy and procedure services.

Whether it’s workplaces, healthcare providers, or community organisations, we deliver:

• • Reliable technology and integrated workplace testing systems.
  • Local expertise offering 24/7, 365 days a year onsite testing services, online and in person customisable AOD awareness and education and training, and policy, procedure and toxicology support.
  • Partnership mindset – we work with employers, health services, and government agencies to ensure drug and alcohol testing programs align with broader harm reduction goals.

Accurate, accessible, and stigma-free drug and alcohol testing helps organisations create safer environments while supporting the broader public health objectives outlined in the strategy.

Why Local Presence Matters

Having a dedicated team in Melbourne means we can respond quickly, understand local challenges, and build long-term relationships. It also ensures our solutions are embedded in the Victorian context, where the government is investing heavily in prevention, early intervention, and system reform.

Looking Ahead

As Victoria embarks on this ambitious 10-year journey, Alcolizer Technology is committed to being part of the solution. Our Melbourne team is here to support organisations in implementing drug and alcohol testing programs that complement the state’s vision: reducing harm, saving lives, and building healthier communities.

Together, with trusted leaders and innovative technology, we can make workplaces and communities safer – and help deliver on the promise of a connected, responsive, and compassionate AOD system.
