Education, prevention and treatment
Alcohol and other drug education, prevention and treatment services are delivered through a range of government and non-government services.
Service Development
The Mental Health Alcohol and Other Drugs Service Development and Quality oversees funding for non-government alcohol and other drug (AOD) services through the Department of Health's Grants Management System.
After agreements are signed, a Services Development Officer helps the external service provider meet its contractual obligations and evaluates its performance.
Remote Alcohol and Other Drugs Workforce Program
The Remote AOD Workforce Program was started in 2007 following a report on violence in Indigenous communities and sits within Aboriginal Medical Services and the Department of Health.
The program covers 32 communities across the Northern Territory (NT) with over 90% of the workforce identifying as Indigenous.
