Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting Chris Christoforou, CEO of the Victorian Alcohol and Drug Association (VAADA), at NDCH.

VAADA leads Victoria's AOD policy, workforce development and sector-wide discussion to prevent and reduce alcohol and other drug harms across the state.

Chris heard directly from NDCH staff and community partners about the realities of harm minimisation and withdrawal for people accessing AOD support in our rural community.

These conversations are vital in ensuring rural voices shape state-level policy. Thank you Chris and VAADA for listening and engaging with our community. 🤝

NDCH offers a range of services and supports for anyone seeking help around alcohol and other drugs. If you or someone you know needs support, please call NDCH on 03) 54 510 200 or visit our website for more information.

🌟 Grace’s Work Experience at NDCH

Last week, NDCH welcomed Grace Carter from Kerang Technical High School for her Year 10 work experience placement.

During her time with us, Grace had the opportunity to observe and learn from a range of teams and programs across the organisation, including allied health, health promotion, community nursing, counselling, and community support services.

She participated in client observations, community events, and program activities, gaining a broader understanding of the many ways NDCH supports our local community 💚

Grace shared that one of the most valuable parts of her placement was seeing how closely teams work together to support clients and improve health outcomes. She also reflected positively on the supportive and welcoming culture at NDCH, noting that staff encouraged questions, shared their knowledge, and helped her feel included throughout the week 😊

The placement also gave Grace further insight into potential future career pathways in healthcare and community services, particularly in allied health 🌱

We thank Grace for spending the week with NDCH and wish her all the best with her future studies and career aspirations 🎓✨

A big thank you to all staff who helped make the experience engaging, supportive, and meaningful!
