A supportive monitoring program for pilots with alcohol and other drug problems
Helping pilots get back in the air
from pilots who have been there.
HIMS Australia
The HIMS program is a world-wide, aviation industry supported, confidential peer mentoring program designed to assist and support airline pilots through recovery and rehabilitation from an addiction or substance dependence diagnosis, facilitating a safe return back to work.
In any community, a proportion of people use alcohol or other drugs in a way that is unsafe. The nature of alcohol and drug problems is such that an individual may not fully realise the implications of their use.
In aviation this can have significant consequences, but if a problem is identified early and managed well, safety can be maintained without jeopardy to employment.
Where to start if you have concerns
If you are concerned about your own personal welfare, a colleague, family member or friend, the HIMS Australia and trained peers can guide you on how to get help and support during the process.
