CDAT
Nimbin CDAT (Community Drug Action Team)
PURPOSE
The Nimbin CDAT exists primarily to reduce drug-related harm by:
1. Improving the level, range and access to alcohol and other drugs services and treatments available to the community;
2. Preventing the initiation into harmful and hazardous drug use, especially by young people.
*Nimbin is defined for the purposes of CDAT as being the area enclosed within a 30km radius from the centre of the village.
OBJECTIVES
1. To increase safe and healthy environments, both social and physical, which promote prevention and reduction of drug related harm;
2. To work collaboratively with other local agencies, services and community groups to address alcohol and other drug related problems in the community;
3. To work towards a more positive (and accurate) profile of Nimbin.
Local Survey
During 2015 a survey was conducted of people who use drugs in the community to inform the priorities and directions of the Nimbin CDAT.
