This report provides a comprehensive overview of the key national data sources on alcohol & other drugs (AOD) and harm reduction in 2024. Although Australia has established routine data monitoring systems and national surveys on AOD issues, currently there is an absence of a centralised national report that collates key information from each of these data sources in one place. Currently, those with an interest in this data are forced to visit multiple websites and read often lengthy reports to gain the key information they need to inform their advocacy work and program development. HRA has therefore designed this report so that those working in and around harm reduction can find the information they are seeking quickly, easily, and in one place. This report covers key findings from:
- National Drug Strategy Household Survey
- National Drug-Induced Deaths/Overdose Data
- National Opioid Pharmacotherapy Statistics Annual Data
- Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System
- Illicit Drug Reporting System
- Australian Needles & Syringe Program (NSP) Survey
- Needle and Syringe Program (NSP) National Minimum Data Collection
