Introduction

In October 2003 the Prime Minister announced that the ANCD has been asked to increase its links throughout the Asia-Pacific region, specifically to promote drug use prevention, reduction and treatment.

As part of this new role the ANCD will advise the Australian Government on the most appropriate ways to work with our regional neighbours to share the knowledge and understanding we have developed from our successful strategies to reduce demand for illicit drugs, particularly our work with the community sector, as well as to learn from their experiences.

To ensure that the ANCD can provide appropriate advice to the Australian Government it has formed a committee that comprises individuals with a broad range of experience and expertise in drug policy.
