ABOUT CLEAN SLATE CLINIC

We are a healthcare social enterprise focused on helping Australians keen to detox from alcohol, safely from home.
Our mission is to improve the health and wellness of individuals struggling with alcohol dependence, and make withdrawal (detox) and recovery services accessible to every Australian who needs them, irrespective of postcode or socio-economic status.
Our clinic is led by Dr Chris Davis, a global leader in General Practitioner alcohol withdrawal management. Working under his guidance are a team of highly trained alcohol detox nurses who provide the care you need to successfully detox from alcohol at home.
Our service is currently available to:
-
Privately paying individuals
-
Individuals with BUPA Gold Cover
-
Residents of Western New South Wales, Western Queensland, Northern Sydney and Central & Eastern Sydney
We hope to be able to extend publicly funded access to other patients in the future. We offer payment plans to assist with affordability - our monthly charge is typically less than clients were previously spending on alcohol.
As a social enterprise we exist to deliver a measurable social impact. We derive most of our revenue from trading and commit to reinvesting a significant proportion of our profits in furthering our mission.
