- Abstract
"The National Drug Strategy 2004-2009 provides a framework for a coordinated, integrated approach to drug issues in the Australian community. Drug use contributes to significant illness and disease, injury, workplace concerns, violence, crime, and breakdowns in families and relationships in Australia. Collins and Lapsley (2002) estimated that the economic costs associated with licit and illicit drug use in 1998-99 amounted to $34.5 billion, of which tobacco accounted for 60%, alcohol 22%, and illicit drugs 17%. This document is a national policy framework that is complemented, supported and integrated with a range of national, state, territory, government and nongovernment strategies, plans and initiatives. It builds upon the experience and achievements of its policy predecessor, the National Drug Strategic Framework 1998-99 to 2003-04, and is overseen and guided by key advisory and decision making bodies."
