Community drug action teams
In the Illawarra region, the term Community Drug Action Team is used to describe a network of over 20 local organisations who come together regularly to support evidence based primary prevention programs and activities to reduce the harms from alcohol and other drugs in our communities.
Our aim
The aim of networks like ours is to provide a platform where organisations can come together to discuss common issues. The
community concerns around alcohol and other drugs are many and complex, and too big for just one organisation alone – we
are stronger together, can pool our resources and bring many different perspectives and experiences to primary prevention
initiatives.
