Key points:
+ The fixed-site pill-testing clinic is being launched as a six-month pilot
+ The ACT government says the site is aimed at reducing the harm caused by drugs through "evidence-based health interventions"
+ The ACT recorded the highest drug-induced deaths per capita in June
The CanTEST Health and Drug Checking Service will be located in Canberra's CBD and will offer the free, confidential testing of drugs. (abc.net.au, Australien, 19.07.2022)
