Mission Statement

Waverley Drug and Alcohol Centre is a not-for-profit, non-government organisation that works with and supports people who are struggling with alcohol and other drug issues.

Vision Statement

Waverley Drug and Alcohol Centre aims to support people with drug and/or alcohol issues in a safe and nurturing environment, with an emphasis on change towards a healthier future and a life worth living.

SMART Recovery Groups

The SMART Recovery Groups are run by the WDA Counsellors every Tuesday 11.00am-12.30pm and every Friday 12.00pm-1.30pm – Level 1, Waverley Library (48 Denison Street, Bondi Junction).  For these groups, there is no need to make an appointment - just drop in.

SMARTWALK Groups

SMARTWALK Groups are on Wednesdays at 10.00am.  Meet at the steps of the kiosk in front of the fountain at Centennial Park (nearest gates are Paddington/Woollahra entrance at the corner of Oxford and Queen Streets).  This is a social walk/talk for people who have AOD issues and/or depression.  We walk around the park, which generally takes about an hour.
