Eight core support elements*

1	Service champions	Services asked to nominate two representatives to act as advocates of alcohol care and links between the service and research team
2	National workshop	National capacity building workshop for service champions at the start of the support phase (and for early support services, a wrap-up feedback workshop at the end of the maintenance support phase)
3	Onsite training	Training will be offered to each ACCHS at their service
4	Resources/funding	Some resources (eg, visual resources for brief intervention and clinical guidelines) will be given to services for free. Additional funding will be provided for the selection and purchase of further resources (eg, FASD doll, standard drink cups).
5	Practice software support	Support will be provided to services throughout the trial to facilitate the routine clinical use of alcohol-related items in the practice software.
6	Data feedback	Individual service data will be fed back to each service every second month
7	Phone conferences	Phone conferences will be held every second month between service champions and project team (including an addiction medicine physician). These will allow sharing of ideas and joint problem solving.
8	Online platform	Further resources and information will be shared via a secure online platform.

*These eight core elements of support will be tailored to local service needs. Further detail on each element is provided in the body of the text.
