Methamphetamine Personal Education Program
First Offender Court Intervention Service (FOCIS) - FOCIS is specifically for people who are required by the courts to attend an alcohol and other drug awareness course as part of their diversion order.

These 2.5 hour education courses are free to attend and available to anyone wanting to learn more about substance use – either their own, or someone else’s – and may help people consider making changes. The courses are also designed for people who are on a diversion order from the court.

Content of the courses focuses on recognising risks when using substances, such as physical and mental health, relationships, risky behaviours, and legal consequences. They cover a range of strategies to support people to cut down, stop or maintain changes they’ve made.

The courses are delivered online or in person at a range of locations across Victoria.

People who complete the course receive an official Certificate of Attendance, which can be provided to the courts to meet legal requirements for some diversion orders.
