Workforce issues and the treatment of alcohol and drug treatment agencies.

This report presents key findings from a national survey of managers of Alcohol and Other
Drug (AOD) specialist treatment agencies. It provides an initial analysis of the alcohol
workforce, AOD services, AOD problems and workforce development issues faced by the sector.
The primary focus of the study was to examine the provision of specialist alcohol services, and
associated workforce development issues. All specialist agencies were surveyed. Hence,
most findings relate to the AOD specialist sector overall. The report provides important
information and insights about Australia's specialist agencies, and is one of few studies of its type.
