Dr Marianne Jauncey is a Public Health Physician who has been the Medical Director of the Uniting Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC) since 2008. Within this role, Marianne has had significant influence within Uniting, the services and advocacy arm of the Uniting Church in NSW/ACT that holds the licence to operate MSIC. In 2018, Uniting formally decided to advocate for drug law reform and began their “Fair Treatment” campaign, designed to increase funding and access to treatment services, as well as achieve decriminalisation. Marianne was also integral to Uniting partnerships that have led to Australia’s first injectable opiate treatment trial, and NSW’s first drug checking service that began operating in April as a small research trial onsite at MSIC.

Marianne is committed to ensuring Uniting MSIC provides unwavering support and meets the needs of its clients beyond supervised injection.
