The Australian Indigenous Alcohol and Other Drugs Knowledge Centre

The Knowledge Centre website has been set up by the Australian Government to build on and enhance the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet site. As well as superseding the HealthInfoNet’s coverage of alcohol and other drugs the Knowledge Centre has much wider responsibilities, including workforce and community support and the collation and provision of policy-related advice.  

Developed and operated by Edith Cowan University, the resource aims to provide the evidence base to reduce harmful substance use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It provides access to a comprehensive collection of relevant, evidence-based, current and culturally appropriate alcohol and other drug (AOD) knowledge-support and decision-support materials and information for individuals, communities, practitioners and policy makers that can be used in the prevention, identification and management of alcohol and other drug use in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population.
