NSW Summit on Alcohol Abuse 2003 – Outcomes and key Initiatives
This report is the NSW Government’s response to the 318 recommendations made at the Summit on Alcohol Abuse held in the NSW Parliament in August 2003.
The Report Outcomes of the NSW Summit on Alcohol Abuse: Changing the Culture of Alcohol Use in NSW (May 2004) sets out the NSW Government’s approach to dealing with alcohol abuse.
It is a response to the Summit Communique and is a plan for the next four years.
The Government’s response to the Summit has the long term goal of changing the way the community uses and thinks about alcohol - to achieve a downward trend in irresponsible drinking behaviour, alcohol related incidents of violence, injury and disease, and an upward trend in research activities and accessibility of treatment and other programs.
The plan has the short term goals of improving and better targeting services and programs to deal with the effects of alcohol misuse, as well as fostering a better understanding of the causes, effects and means of addressing alcohol abuse by the community and industry.
The chapters in the 256 page report cover:
- The community
- Preventing abuse and harm
- Dependence, disease and treatment
- Service delivery – health
- Injury and trauma
- Family and wellbeing
- Workforce capacity
- Alcohol related crime and anti-social behaviour
