*Correct as per the ATODA 2016 Annual Report

ATODA was established by the ACT ATOD sector in 2010, representing a significant achievement by many individuals and services within the sector over several years. ATODA became incorporated in early 2010 with an Interim Board recruited from the sector’s Chief Executive Officers / Executive Directors. A goal of the Interim Board was to establish the organisation with a view to having a full Board elected from the membership at the first Annual General Meeting.

This was achieved on 4 November 2010.

The staff and resources from the ACT Alcohol and Other Drug Sector Project, auspiced by the Youth Coalition of the ACT since 2007, were transferred and novated to ATODA on 1 July 2010. For further information regarding this process please see the report Coming Together, Keeping Together, Working Together: How Stakeholders Collaborated for Sector Development and Change (June 2010).

Strategic Policy Register (Open)

ATODA has established a register of experienced strategic policy staff to engage in work on alcohol, tobacco and other drug policy issues.

People who are seeking full-time, part-time, casual or short-term contracts are invited to express their interest in being placed on the register. Short-term secondments from the public service are encouraged.
