- • Meetings typically last 60-90 minutes
Complete Confidentiality
Everything shared in AA meetings stays confidential. "Who you see here, what you hear here, when you leave here, let it stay here" is a fundamental principle that protects everyone's privacy and creates a safe space for honest sharing.

Understanding AA Meetings
Recovery Support in Port Macquarie, New South Wales Beyond Meetings
This directory lists 8 AA meetings in Port Macquarie, New South Wales at 7 venues. One of them meets online. AA is not treatment and does not provide detox, medical care, or housing. Those are separate services, and knowing which is which matters.
What kinds of alcohol support are there in Australia?
| Option | What it is | Medically supervised | How it is paid for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA meetings | Free peer support groups, in person and online | No | Free, self supporting through member contributions |
| Detox | Short term supervised withdrawal while alcohol leaves the body | Yes | Health service or paid, depending on the provider |
| Residential treatment | Residential rehabilitation, living on site for a set period | Yes | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Outpatient treatment | Community and outpatient AOD services, structured sessions while living at home | Usually | Health service, insurance, or self funded |
| Sober living | Sober living and transitional housing, shared abstinent housing with house rules | No | Usually rent paid by the resident |
Is it safe to stop drinking without medical help?
Not always. Stopping suddenly after heavy daily drinking can cause withdrawal that is genuinely dangerous, which is why supervised withdrawal exists as its own service. If you drink heavily every day, speak to a doctor or a withdrawal service first. This is the published position of the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, not advice from this directory.
What is sober living housing and who is it for?
Sober living and transitional housing are shared homes where everyone is staying sober, usually with house rules and required meeting attendance. It is housing, not treatment. Residents commonly move in after residential treatment and attend local AA meetings as part of the house agreement.
Where can I get free and confidential help now?
If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:
- National Alcohol and Other Drug Hotline, 1800 250 015. Free and confidential, 24 hours a day, connecting to the service in your state or territory.
- Emergency and crisis contacts if the situation is urgent right now.
Service details verified against the Alcohol and Drug Foundation on . The AA Directory lists meetings. It does not run, recommend, rank, or take payment from any treatment provider, sober living operator, or detox service, and has no affiliation with the groups it lists.
