Your say for drug strategy sought

CASEY residents can have their say on a Victorian alcohol and drug strategy.
The Baillieu Government strategy aims to reform the way government, health and community services, businesses, families, and communities work together to address alcohol and drug-related harms in the state, South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich said.
Residents can provide comment and ideas on how the harms associated with alcohol and drugs can be reduced.
“The whole of government strategy will focus on decreasing the current rates of alcohol and drug abuse in Victoria and reduce the amount of harm that alcohol and drug abuse causes in the community,” Ms Peulich said.
“The strategy will also seek to increase access to treatment options so that people with an alcohol or drug problem can get help when they need it.
Submissions close on Wednesday 21 September.
More information about the whole of government Victorian Alcohol and Drug Strategy, including the consultation paper and details about how to make a submission are available on www.health.vic.gov.au/aod/strategy
