Two new drug action teams are heading for the South-East.
The Federal Government and the Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF) announced the Local Drug Action Teams (LDATs) would receive $10,000 each and work to prevent alcohol and other drug harms at a grass-roots level.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for community partnerships to use local knowledge and build evidence-informed initiatives to prevent alcohol and other drug related-harms in their communities,” ADF CEO Dr Erin Lalor said.
Afri-Aus Care Incorporated and City of Casey are the lead organisations for the South-East LDATs.
“The LDAT program recognises that all local areas are different and that community-led initiatives are critical when it comes to preventing harms caused by alcohol and other drugs, including crystal methamphetamine,” she said.
LDAT is part of the Federal Government’s $298 million, four-year investment under the National Ice Action Strategy.
