Drinking
Problem?

If you think you have a drinking problem and want to do something about it, call in and find out about Alcoholics Anonymous.

What is the City Contact Centre?

The City Contact Centre is a place in the city where people who think they have a problem with alcohol can come and find out about Alcoholics Anonymous. Anyone can come in and have a cup of coffee and chat about what AA is and whether it can help.

A place for AA members

As well, the centre is a place where members of Alcoholics Anonymous can meet with each other over a cup of coffee in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere and share their experience, strength and hope.

Meetings

The venue is also available for AA Groups to hold regular meetings. A variety of AA meetings are held at the venue at various times. A meeting schedule is available at the centre or you can call 9600 4511 for information.

Each of the groups running meetings is an autonomous self supporting Group of AA with its own group conscience.

Who runs the centre?

The day to day running of the Centre is handled by the City Group of AA. This group is an autonomous group just like any other AA group. It is made up of AA members trying to carry the AA message to other Alcoholics. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. The centre is opened and run each day by a roster of experienced AA volunteers.

Autonomy

The City Group is not affiliated with any outside organization. We are self-supporting, declining outside contributions; and we are non-professional, offering only the voluntary support of one alcoholic helping another.

Cooperation

The group cooperates with other AA groups and service bodies in Melbourne. The City Group is listed with The National Office of AA in Australia. The group is part of the Inner City District and Area C of the AA Southern Region.
