Tasmanian Alcohol, Tobacco and other Drugs Communications Charter
All aspects of communication, including images, have the power to reduce stigma for people who use alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and their families, and encourage people to seek help when they need it.
Workforce development issues significantly impact organisational capacity of our members to reduce drug related harm for Tasmanians. Many of the workforce issues are longstanding and, to a large extent, structural in nature. This means that a focused and long -term strategic effort is needed to address them.
This position paper identifies the key issues so that the ATDC as a peak body can undertake advocacy and implement actions to drive meaningful change for the ATOD specialist workforce.
