Turning Point Australia Grey Street

About Turning Point Australia Grey Street

Turning Point Australia Grey Street is an appointment-only outpatient addiction treatment location in Ringwood East, in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Part of Turning Point Eastern Treatment Services, the centre provides structured support for people affected by alcohol and other drug use in an accessible community setting. The location is best known for KickStart, a free eight-week therapeutic group for men involved with the justice system when substance use has contributed to offending. Using cognitive behavioural therapy and group-based learning, the programme helps participants understand patterns, strengthen practical coping skills and work toward lasting behavioural change. Care is evidence-based, holistic and gender-specific, with treatment looking beyond substance use to the behaviours, risks and circumstances affecting recovery. The Grey Street location also identifies SMART Recovery, Aboriginal alcohol and other drug support, and care and recovery coordination among its services, helping connect eligible clients with peer support, culturally responsive care and wider health or community resources. The building is wheelchair accessible and includes accessible toilets. Ringwood East railway station and local bus services provide public transport connections, while limited permit parking is available behind the site for people attending scheduled appointments.
