Victoria's Beyond The Valley music festival introduces pill testing to curb drug overdose risks.

Victoria's Beyond The Valley music festival will offer a pill testing service as part of a state-backed trial, allowing up to 35,000 attendees to check illicit drugs for harmful substances. The four-day event from December 28 to January 1 is the first of ten planned festivals to provide the service, aimed at reducing overdose risks. The testing, which will be confidential and run by health experts, follows Victoria legalizing pill testing, making it the first state in Australia to do so.
