The Mobile Assistance Patrol Service (MAPS) is a harm minimisation program operated by Marnbi Aboriginal Corporation. MAPS provides safe transport, immediate care, and referral support for individuals affected by alcohol or substance use. The service ensures that community members are safely transported to shelter or support services, reducing harm and promoting safety across the community.
