Based on the Gold Coast, our Clinical Liaison Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Service (CLAIS) supports young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families who have problems with alcohol and other drugs.

We bring respect and cultural understanding to our support.

This service provides advocacy, support and counselling for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, working in partnership with government and non-government services.

CLAIS also delivers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health First Aid training in conjunction with the Karulbo Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnership.
