Clean Slate Clinic is a pioneering virtual healthcare service in Australia, offering medically supervised, home-based withdrawal and recovery support for individuals looking to change their relationship with alcohol, cannabis, or stimulants. By delivering care via telehealth, Clean Slate removes traditional barriers to detox—enabling people to safely begin their recovery journey from the comfort and privacy of their own homes.
At the heart of Clean Slate’s model is accessibility. Many people who experience substance dependence struggle to access traditional detox services due to geographical isolation, stigma, work or family responsibilities, or a lack of culturally safe care. Clean Slate bridges this gap with a fully virtual, nationally available service that is trauma-informed, person-centred, and grounded in harm reduction principles. Each program begins with a comprehensive assessment and the development of a tailored withdrawal management plan. Clients receive daily check-ins with nurses and doctors throughout detox, along with psychosocial and peer support. The model is flexible and responsive, designed to meet each person’s goals and level of readiness for change.
To refer a client, clinicians can email referrals@cleanslateclinic.com.
Patients are welcome to self-refer by completing a Clean Slate Clinic - Suitability Form.
Beyond detox, Clean Slate offers:
● Ongoing clinical support for those detoxing elsewhere
● Counselling services with accredited clinicians
● Daily “Clean Slate Conversations” groups, available seven days a week
● Follow-up nurse check-ins for up to 12 months
For First Nations clients, Clean Slate Clinic provides culturally responsive care and partners with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) to co-deliver services. Initiatives such as Yarn Smart—a culturally adapted version of the SMART Recovery model—demonstrate Clean Slate’s commitment to community-led healing and long-term support. To refer a client, clinicians can email yarn@cleanslateclinic.com.
Whether someone is seeking abstinence or simply wants to take a break from substance use, Clean Slate empowers individuals to take back control of their health and wellbeing—on their own terms.
We provide specialist telehealth clinical support to help Australians struggling with alcohol, stimulant, or cannabis dependence to detox and recover safely from the comfort of their homes. As a Social Enterprise, we are dedicated to delivering measurable social impact.
