AOD Charter

The purpose of the charter is to develop a broad range of principles and goals that all stakeholders within the AOD sector can draw upon in the development and implementation of AOD policy. The ANCD also expects that the charter would be included in a range of publications relevant to sectors such as law enforcement, public health, and welfare.

The ANCD envisages that the proposed AOD charter would draw upon existing documents such as the European Charter on Alcohol (1995). The ANCD expects that the AOD charter would include reference to groups such as families, individual drug users, and practitioners. In addition, the charter should also address issues such as human rights and how they impact on the aforementioned groups.
