Specialised support and care for pregnant women with substance-use issues
Our CHAMP Clinic assists pregnant women to make positive changes to their drug-using behaviours. Staff have knowledge and experience of opioid replacement therapies, current treatment options for drug dependence, blood-borne viral infections (i.e. hepatitis C) and transmission risks, and can assist patients in gaining skills to nurture and care for their baby.
In addition, staff can support women with mental illness and/or psychosocial problems and will advocate for pregnant women with special needs. Women can self-refer to this clinic.
