The Policy, Strategy and Information Directorate develops and coordinates whole-of-government policies and strategies in conjunction with state and Commonwealth agencies.
Other core functions of the directorate include:
- whole-of-government co-ordination, planning and reporting
- monitoring, evaluation and research
- Aboriginal alcohol and other drugs programs
- media and communications
- library and resources services.
A key part of the Directorate's work is the Drug and Alcohol Interagency Strategic Framework for Western Australia 2011-15.
The Framework has been developed to provide broad direction for a whole-of-government response that aims to see fewer people impacted by drug and alcohol use in the Western Australian community.
