Northern Territory AOD Workforce Development Assessment & Strategic Framework
In June 2017, Northern Territory PHN (NT PHN) commissioned the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA) to undertake a project to:
- develop a comprehensive understanding of the Northern Territory (NT) Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) workforce development (WFD) needs as defined by the sector
- identify current WFD gaps and how they could be addressed in a coordinated way
- identify opportunities to strengthen cross-sector referral pathways and responses incorporating the Primary Health Care sector (particularly the Aboriginal Community Controlled sector) and the Youth and Mental Health sectors.
An Executive Summary and Summary Report from NCETA are now available. They provide an overview of the consultation and findings, and recommendations for the ongoing improvement and support of the NT AOD workforce.
