Engaging the community

Alcohol and other drug-related issues can have a significant impact on the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of a community.

At the Drug and Alcohol Office we work with communities that want to address these issues, and make their local area a better place.

Whether it's someone volunteering their time to a local drug action group, a health professional developing a drug prevention program or a community group advocating for change, there are many different ways to get involved.

For information on how you can get involved contact our Community Programs team.
