We have managed businesses, and are raising a family in the Illawarra. We have been fortunate that our location has allowed us to take advantage of the beautiful beaches of the NSW South Coast and the relaxing country lifestyle of the Southern Highlands region, whether it be for the day or the weekend.
Of all the wonderful aspect our region offers, unfortunately the increase in alcohol and drug fuelled incidences has impacted our community and our workplaces. As everyone knows, there are no easy answers. But our goal is to become part of the solution.
We all expect that when we go to work, we will be provided with a safe workplace. What people often overlook is the true impact of someone’s drug taking choices. Clearly these choices do not only affect the drug user’s own safety and well-being.
One person’s choices impact all their peers and colleagues, too. Not to mention the consequential costs and risks imposed on the business itself. This is why we have joined Drug-Safe Workplaces – to assist employers to minimise the risk of drugs and alcohol within their business.
Living locally, we have seen the progression of drug fuelled incidents in our community and workforce. While we know we can’t solve the problem, we can contribute to change.
Joining forces with Drug-Safe Communities, we are able to reach out to employers like yourself. Hence we can provide you with a means to combat drug and alcohol abuse in your business. Let us implementing a Drug & Alcohol Risk Management Program tailored to your needs.

The shock of this tragic discovery worsened when I found out he had been fiddling the books in order to pay for his habit. He had taken more than $300,000 from the company account.
No matter how well you think you know someone…you don’t.
