First Step is a mental health, addiction and legal services hub supporting over 1,300 vulnerable Victorians each year.

Our team consists of GPs, psychologists, psychiatrists, lawyers, mental health nurses and care coordinators.

All for free. All from one team. All at one site.

We are the only service of this type in Australia.

At First Step, we know that chronic addiction is often a long-term, painful adaptation to childhood neglect and abuse, and that timely and effective treatment benefits all of society.

We work to keep people connected to their families, participating in society and taking control of their own lives.

Our goal is to provide vulnerable Victorians with all the support they want and need from one team in one place.

Ultimately, we believe that everybody deserves every chance to turn their lives around.
