NDARC and NDRI researchers provide expert opinion to parliamentary inquiry
In March and April, researchers from NDARC and NDRI outlined the latest evidence on the health impacts of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use in Australia to The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Health, Aged Care and Disability.
The Committee is conducting an inquiry and invited NDARC and NDRI to provide verbal evidence during its Canberra and Perth hearings, following wide-ranging written submissions from the two centres.
NDARC’s Director Professor Michael Farrell, Deputy Director Associate Professor Amy Peacock and Dr Michala Kowalski travelled to Canberra on 27 March 2026 to participate.
NDRI’s Professor Paul Griffiths, Dr Michael Curtis, Professor Paul Dietze, Dr Jodie Grigg, Professor Simon Lenton and Professor Nyanda McBride presented at the Perth hearing on 14 April 2026.
