Medically Supervised Injection Facility (MSIF)
2025 marked the first full year of operation for the landmark Medically Supervised Injection Facility (MSIF). The MSIF is a life-saving service, providing a safe, hygienic, and clinically supervised environment for people to inject drugs they have sourced elsewhere.
In 2025, 1,470 individuals used the MSIF, equating to 15,171 visits. Of those who used the service, 77% were men, and 63% were aged 25 to 44 years. In addition, 89.5% of MSIF clients had previously engaged with other MQI services.
During 2025, MSIF staff successfully managed 244 non-fatal overdoses in the service, using oxygen only or a combination of oxygen and naloxone. Heroin was the most commonly reported substance at the MSIF, used as the primary drug in 72% of all visits. The MSIF is operating as an 18-month pilot project.
