About Turning Point Australia Carrington Road

Set to the east of Melbourne in Box Hill, Turning Point Carrington Road provides outpatient and online support for substance use, behavioral addictions, and people who also experience mental health difficulties. The service includes culture-informed options for Aboriginal Australians. Carrington Road is frequently the first place individuals contact when they are looking for help with substance use. Access is convenient: the Belgrave/Lilydale train line and the Box Hill Central/Whitehorse tram stops are nearby, followed by a brief walk through the shopping precinct to Carrington Road. The Box Hill bus station is also close, and multiple bus routes stop within a short distance. Parking nearby is limited, but paid parking is available, with the Box Hill Central South car park being the closest option. Turning Point Australia receives funding from the Commonwealth Department of Health and offers free treatment to eligible Australian residents.

Turning Point provides specialist medication treatment for people with opioid use concerns and additional mental health needs who are seeking medication-assisted treatment (MAT), including methadone or buprenorphine. After stabilization through MAT, clients are typically returned to primary care once opioid use is in remission.

The Carrington Road clinic also runs specialist assessments for addiction concerns, including substance use and process addictions like gambling. Assessments can be completed in person or online, which supports people living in regional or more remote areas, and they usually take about one hour. Addiction medicine specialists assess needs, help with diagnosis, and direct clients to the most suitable ongoing support, sometimes including short-term follow-up.

Aboriginal Australians can take part in a culture-informed program that delivers holistic care for substance use and other mental health concerns. This approach may include psychoeducation, counseling, coordination of services, and involvement of family members.
