The year 2021 is well and truly underway and I’ve been asked a few times since coming back from annual leave this week what we should expect in the months ahead.

I’ve been talking about money a lot in the last couple of weeks, particularly following the tabling of the 2020-21 Tasmanian State Budget in November.

You did it again. You exceeded our expectations, and the result was one that we can all be very proud of.

CEO Update August 2020

Paperwork. We all have to do it, and at times it feels like a task that has questionable benefit, particularly when we think about the time and effort we put into it.

CEO Update July 2020

What are you doing to look after you?

Research is starting to emerge confirming what we all expected - people have been drinking more and more often during COVID-19

There’s no doubt that the year 2020 is going to be remembered as the year COVID-19 turned our lives into a rollercoaster ride.

Here we are! It’s hard to believe that we’ve made it to the end of 2019! It’s been an incredible year with many highlights.

CEO Update November 2019

We’ve been asked on more than one occasion why we continue to be steadfast in our position to trial pill testing in Tasmania, particularly given the Tasmanian Government’s similarly steadfast position not to.

31 October 2019

It’s that time of year when our minds turn towards thoughts of warmer days, time with family and dare I say, Christmas preparations! Not yet I hear you say!

‘Purposeful’ and ‘steadfast’. These were the words I shared at last week’s Annual General Meeting to describe the efforts of the ATDC over the past 12 months.

CEO Update August 2019

My message is simple this month and it’s ‘thank you’.

CEO Update July 2019

I really enjoy my role at the Alcohol, Tobacco and other Drugs Council of Tasmania. Over the past 12 months that I’ve been in this role, it has provided me with many opportunities to be involved in discussions and projects that help to deliver real impact to many Tasmanians.

CEO Update June 2019

As Winter approaches, discussions surrounding the homelessness crisis across Tasmania are intensifying with many individuals and families unable to find secure accommodation.

State Budget 2019-20

The release of the 2019-20 State Budget has been received with an acute sense of disappointment from the Tasmanian community sector for the lack of investment in services and programs across the State.

Another Tasmanian State Budget has been tabled, and those following the media would be aware that the ATDC has been vocal in expressing concern about the lack of funding for alcohol, tobacco and other drug services.

As we nudge closer to the Federal election, many of you may have already decided how you will vote and some of you may still be considering your choices.

CEO Update March 2019

It’s incredible to think we’re almost one quarter of the way through 2019! Over the past month, pill testing continues to dominate the national media, particularly in Tasmania following Speaker of the House of Assembly Sue Hickey’s public announcement that she supports pill testing.
