Warmest wishes for the season. Drug ARM has some changed operating hours over the Christmas period. They are as follows:
Plan. Drive. Survive. Comprehensive/ Drink Driving Program
The Plan Drive Survive Comprehensive course is for people on the interlock program who have had two or more drink driving infringements. It’s completed after your interlock is installed.
You can register online now at www.drugarm.com.au/drink-driving and our team will be in touch following the holiday closure.
Our phone intake for this program will be closed from Christmas Eve to 2 January 2026.
Please note you won’t start the course straight away.
Courses can be delivered live online by a facilitator, so you can attend from wherever you are.
Counselling and support
Most Drug ARM services will close on Christmas Day and reopen on Thursday 2 January 2026.
Some of our services may have an extended closure or will be providing limited support as many staff take leave during early January.
