The State Government will provide an additional $500,000 towards a heroin treatment clinic in Perth.
George O'Neil pioneered the Naltrexone implant and has been lobbying the Government for an extra $2 million to keep his Subiaco clinic running.
The Government already provides funding of more than $1 million a year.
The Naltrexone implant has never been fully registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
The latest funding agreement is conditional on Dr O'Neil agreeing to the appointment of an independent researcher to examine his research material and determine what work is needed to achieve registration.
George is speaking at Autumn Session #3
George is the medical researcher for the Fresh Start recovery programme.
He is speaking on the topic Helping Families avoid addictions.
