The Department of Health and Ageing engaged the National Indigenous Drug and Alcohol Committee (NIDAC) to conduct six targeted community consultations to inform the development of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Drug Strategy (NATSIPDS). The consultations were conducted over a two week period in: Port Augusta, SA; Sydney, NSW; Mt Isa, QLD; Perth, WA; Broome, WA; Alice Springs, NT. Over 200 people working within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander alcohol and other drugs (AOD) sector participated in the consultations, representing non-government, community based, government, health, and law enforcement organisations. Seventeen written submissions were received from a range of Indigenous and non-Indigenous organisations from NSW, SA, QLD, VIC, WA, ACT and the NT.
