The Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC) has been a hot topic in Melbourne and is having politicians running for cover. All the organisations and institutions want one, the resident’s are screaming for one, even the businesses in Victoria St Richmond have been asking for one- but what do injecting drug users want? Is anyone asking? We want to hear from people who inject. What is YOUR opinion about a medically supervised injecting centre? Do you think the drug market will stay in the Richmond area or will it move like it has always done? Will creating a injecting centre in one area affect other drug markets around Melbourne? Take our survey below and be in the running for an HRVic prize pack!*

*The survey is anonymous.To be in the running for the prize pack you will need to follow the link at the end of the survey.

Can you spare a few moments to take our survey? Please take the survey titled "Safe Injecting Room For Melbourne". Your feedback is important!
