| Short description: | The ANCD was established as part of the Federal government's response to reduce the harm caused by drugs in our community. The Council occupies a unique position by virtue of its role in enhancing the partnership between government and the community. It has a pivotal advisory, advocacy and representative functions, with a significant role to provide government Ministers with independant, expert advice on matters related to licit or illicit drugs. The ANCD brings the national effort expertise from volunteer and community organizations, law enforcement, health and social welfare fields. The cooperation of these fields is vital to comprehensiveness of Australia's policy response to alcohol and other drug issues in our community. |
