BMFHQ FESTIVAL ALCOHOL & DRUG TESTING SERVICES
BMFHQ are an interactive drug and alcohol testing and education service on the front line of music and lifestyle events Australia-wide. BMFHQ promotes safe social environments by empowering people to know their level of intoxication and encouraging them to make responsible decisions based on this information. The service we provide assists event patrons to get home safely by giving them an opportunity to be Drug (saliva) & Alcohol (breath) tested before leaving an event.
Empowering young people to make safer decisions
By starting a friendly conversation with young adults in a positive context about the effects of drugs and alcohol and dangers of associated behaviours, we empower them to:
- Understand the effects of alcohol and drugs
- Avoid drink or drug driving
- Establish healthier drinking habits
- Encourage their peers to drink and use drugs responsibly
This not only helps people make an informed decision before getting behind the wheel, but also ensure that drivers, parents, schools, universities, music festivals, charity events and the wider community are kept safe from potential dangers of drug and alcohol misuse.
