NSW NGO Alcohol and Other Drugs Workforce Development Plan
December 2015
As a complement to the recently released Australia's National Alcohol and Drug Workforce Development Strategy, the first of its kind for Australia and internationally, NCETA conducted a workforce development (WFD) consultation workshop with members of the NSW Network of Alcohol and other Drug Agencies (NADA) on 16 November 2015.
The workshop was part of the process of supporting NADA to prepare a workforce development plan for the NSW non-government AOD sector. It followed an earlier planning workshop held with NADA staff in late September to help identify current and emerging priorities. The workshop provided an opportunity for NADA members to identify the strengths and opportunities associated with current approaches to WFD in the sector and to help shape the Plan. The Plan will be finalised in mid-2016. It is envisaged that it may form a model for similar jurisdictional workforce development plans in other states and territories.
