The Turnbull government has a track record of delivering a stronger economy, enabling us to deliver those essential health services that Australians deserve and expect, including drug and alcohol support services in Longman. Earlier this month we were able to announce $11 million to boost drug and alcohol support services in Caboolture and the Bribie Island region. This will increase detox and rehabilitation services, including services specific to the treatment of ice addiction. This funding will save lives, keep families together and create a safer community. It means that Longman residents can have access to services closer to home rather than travelling to Brisbane for help. Unlike Labor's promises, this funding will start flowing next month. This is part of our broader $713 million investment to reduce the impact of drug and alcohol misuse on individuals, families and communities.
