Forums ATODA Convenes

The Specialist ACT Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Executive Group is involved in the strategic development and implementation of key sector-wide activities for the ACT alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) sector in the ACT.

Meetings are convened regularly to support information-sharing at an Executive level, both between Executives of ATOD services themselves, as well as between Executives and ATODA as the peak body. It provides a space for key issues of collective interest to be progressed, as well as a means by which external stakeholders provide information to Executives by invitation to attend an Executives Group meeting.

ATODA gratefully acknowledges the input and support of members of the Specialist ACT ATOD Executives Group.

The Specialist ACT ATOD Executive Group Terms of Reference provides further detail regarding the purpose, roles and membership of the group.

University Drug and Alcohol Network

The University Drug and Alcohol Network (UDAN) brings together the higher education sector in the ACT to develop a network to respond to alcohol and other drug (AOD) related harms across ACT universities. The UDAN consists of representatives from ATODA, the Australian National University (ANU), the University of Canberra (UC) and the Australian Catholic University (ACU).

The UDAN aims to:

• Improve the health and safety of university communities (staff, students and visitors) in the ACT;
• Prevent and reduce alcohol, tobacco and other drug related harms; and
• Support collaborative, coordinated and evidence-informed responses across ACT universities.

To date, ATODA has worked with the UDAN Working Group to develop and implement various ATOD related projects and trainings.
