1990

The North West Outreach Service (a Needle Syringe Program) opens its doors, providing free, confidential, and non-judgemental access to clean injecting equipment, condoms, lubricants, and referral services. This includes both in-house support at Glenroy HQ and mobile outreach across Broadmeadows, Brunswick and Coburg. Analysis of 1991-1992 data shows that Victorian injecting drug users have the lowest HIV/AIDS infection rates in Australia, highlighting the success of Youth Project’s Needle Syringe Program.
