Methamphetamine Personal Education Program
First Offender Court Intervention Service (FOCIS) - FOCIS is specifically for people who are required by the courts to attend an alcohol and other drug awareness course as part of their diversion order.

These 2.5 hour education courses are free to attend and available to anyone wanting to learn more about their patterns of substance use and ready to start making some changes. The courses are also designed to support people with legal requirements to complete an information course.

The courses are interactive. Content focuses on recognising risks when using substances, such as physical and mental health, relationships, risky behaviours, and legal consequences. They cover a range of strategies to support people to cut down, stop or maintain changes they’ve made.

The courses are delivered online as well as at our Coburg site.

People who complete the course receive an official Certificate of Attendance, which can be provided to the courts to meet legal requirements for diversion orders.
