The NSW Needle and Syringe Program (NSP) is an evidence-based public health program that aims to reduce the transmission of infections such as HIV and hepatitis C among people who inject drugs and the broader community. NSP outlets provide new injecting equipment such as needles and syringes, Fitpacks and other injecting equipment (such as butterflies, filters, swabs, water, spoons and cotton balls) as well as disposal facilities free of charge.

NSP outlets are staffed by specialist workers who provide access to new injecting equipment, testing, promote safe injecting and disposal practices and facilitate referrals to health, welfare and community services as needed.
