- Abstract
"The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Complementary Action Plan seeks to address the particular challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia in the use of licit and illicit drugs. It complements all the other national action plans under the National Drug Strategic Framework 1998-99 to 2002-03 (National Drug Strategic Framework). The National Drug Strategy is a cooperative venture between the Commonwealth, State and Territory governments, and the non-government sector. Its aim is to minimise the harmful effects of drugs and drug use in Australian society. In recent years, the National Drug Strategy has developed a series of national plans to deal with licit and illicit drug use in Australia. The National Drug Strategic Framework was developed under the direction of the Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy. Membership of the Council includes Commonwealth, State and Territory Ministers responsible for health and law enforcement. Its collective aim is to decide on national policies and programs to reduce the harm caused by drugs to individuals, families and communities in Australia. The National Drug Strategic Framework is an all-encompassing document on drug strategies in Australia, and highlights the contribution of drug use to illness and disease, accident and injury, violence and crime, family and social disruption, and workplace problems."
