Take-Home Naloxone

Postal Take-Home Naloxone

NUAA is taking part in a pilot program to make Take-Home Naloxone available to people who may experience or witness an opioid overdose through our postal NSP service. Our Postal Take-Home Naloxone service involves a brief intervention about how to recognise and respond to an overdose and how to administer naloxone.

After providing consent and filling out a short questionnaire, you will need to watch an instructional video and complete a quiz consisting of a few multiple-choice questions. Once you have completed the quiz, you will be able to complete your order for Naloxone.

For more information, please call us on 1800 644 413.
