Alcohol restrictions requested by the local Norseman Aboriginal community and supported by the whole community have resulted in significant harm reduction: the evaluation of the Norseman Voluntary Liquor Agreement found a 60% decrease in alcohol-related hospital admissions; a 17% reduction in assaults; a 10% reduction in police tasks; and a 10% decrease in per capita alcohol consumption. NDRI researcher Andreia Schineanu, said the report demonstrates the significance of community initiated and community supported restrictions in effective harm minimisation.
