The South Australian Government has announced the construction of the nation’s first rehabilitation clinic for petrol sniffers.

The $1.2 million project will involve residential facilities and counselling services for petrol sniffers in remote Aboriginal communities in the state’s north. The rehabilitation of sniffers is an important part of a broader effort to combat petrol sniffing.
