Policy & Advocacy |
 Policy development and advocacy are integral to the work of the Australian Drug Foundation.
The role of the Policy Unit is:
- to ensure that the policy foundations of the organisation are based on sound evidence and support all the ADF’s programs and services
- to investigate alcohol and other drug issues and make recommendations for policy action based on a sound evidential footing
- to work with policy makers and research staff in government and non-government organisations and settings to inform their policy and decision-making
- to advocate for change through informing and mobilising key audiences
- to implement and test policy initiatives in collaboration with other stakeholders and with particular communities.
