Due to the stay-at-home order for the Byron Bay area, Lismore, Ballina and some surrounding LGAs, our ACON Lismore Office will be temporarily closed from Tuesday 10 August until Monday 16 August.

We hope to reopen on Tuesday 17 August.

For access to injecting equipment, visit the NSP site at the Lismore Base Hospital, 50 Hunter St, Lismore. Links to our contact details and other support services are provided below.

This temporary closure has been enacted to ensure we continue to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our clients, community, and volunteers. 

The thoughts and love of everyone here at ACON are with our communities, along with everyone in broader communities, impacted by this lockdown in the Northern Rivers region.

During these challenging times, we urged everyone in our communities to:

  • Get vaccinated as soon as it’s available to you
  • Follow all public health orders
  • Stay at home as much as you can
  • Mask up when you’re out and about
  • Reach out for support when you need it
