Queensland’s Lives Lived Well and Lyndon NSW are pleased to announce a merger between the two organisations in a move aimed at strengthening their services in both states.

Taking effect from today, September 1, 2017, the union between these two well-regarded, not-for-profit service providers is not so much about becoming bigger, but better, as they combine to bolster their services to continue their professional approach in helping people and families impacted by drugs or alcohol.

Lives Lived Well’s CEO Mitchell Giles indicated that each organisation is like-minded and that he is looking forward to building on long-standing records of excellence in service provision. “We hold in high regard the support that Lyndon provides to communities across NSW and we are pleased to be in partnership with them, working with them to continue to provide a professional and compassionate drug and alcohol support service, now spanning two states,” he said.

After the merger, Lyndon will continue to deliver services in NSW under the Lyndon name. Clients will continue to see the same faces. Lyndon’s CEO, Ed Zarnow, will remain within the merged entity in NSW as the leader in that state.

Mr Zarnow says the merger marks an exciting era for both organisations, as together we work towards becoming leaders and innovators in drug and alcohol treatment. “By combining forces and sharing knowledge, we will be better positioned and resourced to provide best practice supports to people experiencing problems with drugs or alcohol,” Mr Zarnow said.
