Broken Hill Community Drug Action Team

Information and contact details about the Community Drug Action Team and links to projects and activities.

Overview

The Broken Hill Community Drug Action Team was established in October 2006. The Community Drug Action Team (CDAT) is a group of people working together to take action on drug-related concerns in our community.

The team usually includes community members, local residents, government agency representatives, local government and local non-government organisations. Broken Hill CDAT meets on the first Tuesday of the month.

Objectives

• Bring together key agencies, stakeholders and local residents to respond to drug and alcohol related issues in the Broken Hill local government area.
• Enable the Broken Hill community to comprehend and take ownership of drug issues by encouraging community and inter-agency involvement to identify and develop initiatives to address them.
• Work within the World Health Organisation (WHO) Safe Communities model using an evidence based approach to issues.

What do we do?

In March 2007 we ran a successful Youth Forum at the West football Club. Students attended a one day workshop; the theme was "Choice, Consequences, Stay Safe".

Guest speakers informed students about drugs and choices. The guest speakers were from the Police Department and Local Health Service. Everyone went home with a backpack of goodies.
