A Better System for Better Outcomes – National Medicated Assisted Treatment for Opioid Dependence (MATOD) Summit Media Release

Harm Reduction Australia (HRA) and ScriptWise are calling for improvements in opioid treatment due to the current lack of availability, acceptability and affordability of treatment for affected Australians.

In addition to the approximately 50,000 people currently on MATOD in Australia, modelling has estimated that the unmet demand for MATOD treatment at any given time could be as high as 40,000 people.
