Celebrating Excellence

Tasmanian ATOD Awards

There are many exceptional people working to promote health and prevent harms associated with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs (ATOD). The Tasmanian ATOD Awards recognise, promote and reward outstanding practice in the Tasmanian ATOD field – but we can’t do it without you!

Nominate yourself, your colleagues, an organisation or a program for their achievements making an impact in the Tasmanian ATOD sector. You can nominate as many people or organisations as you like. Nominations close Friday 16 April 2021.
Nomination deadline extended to Friday 30 April 2021.

Our judging panel will follow up with nominees to make sure they have all the information they need for the tough job of selecting finalists and then winners in each category.

Then we invite you to join us in recognising the accomplishments of our sector at the ATDC Conference in June, where we will announce the award winners.

Nomination information

You do not have to answer all of these when nominating.

Please see these as a guide only, of the sort of things the judges are looking for.

Guiding principles
  • A commitment to harm minimisation embracing harm reduction, demand reduction and supply reduction
  • A population health approach that takes into account the social, economic and situational determinants leading to substance use
  • Recognition that service provision occurs across a continuum, including health promotion, prevention and early intervention; harm reduction and treatment
  • Consumer participation that provides for input to service planning, governance, review and development is valued
  • Consumer self-determination that acknowledges the resilience of consumers and considers both risk and protective factors when providing services
  • Evidence-based practice and policy as the basis for our actions
  • Partnership and collaboration as foundations to successful, sustainable and holistic responses to the harms associated with substance misuse
  • Recognition of priority populations, as important contributors to, and consumers in, the Tasmanian alcohol, tobacco and other drug sector. (Priority populations include Aboriginal people, people with mental health conditions, young people, older people, people in contact with the criminal justice system, culturally and linguistically diverse populations, people identifying as LGBTI+ and people with disability)
