Our Story

7A812974-DC46-4EFB-9A88-C45F4D130261-575-0000000EBDCE22E2.JPG
Established in 2020, Clean Slate is a social enterprise providing an innovative healthcare model for individuals with alcohol, stimulant, or cannabis dependence, enabling safe at-home detox.
In just four years, Clean Slate has grown to become one of Australia's leading providers of medicated withdrawal & recovery services.

There are over two million people in Australia who need to withdraw from alcohol, cannabis or stimulants and this requires the support of specialist Alcohol & Other Drug (AOD) clinicians.

​

Our team of alcohol and drug clinicians use virtual care and digital technology to service a gap in the market and provide withdrawal & recovery support to all individuals, no matter where they live.

​

We enable those seeking to safely withdraw from alcohol, stimulants or cannabis, to do so - when they are ready, from the comfort of their home, and at a fraction of the usual cost.
