New figures by the Australian Crime Intelligence Commission have revealed Melbourne is the heroin capital of Australia.

Former manager of Frankston methadone clinic, Nadia Siciliano, says heroin is more accessible and affordable for people to try.

“You have the safe injecting rooms, you have dealers that are sitting outside that will deal to the client,” she told Tom Elliott.

Press PLAY to hear her thoughts on why Melbourne’s heroin use is higher than Sydney

A previous version of this interview mentioned someone had died as a result of using the safe injecting room last year, this has been edited out of the interview as it’s been found to be false.
