Offender drug and alcohol strategy 2010 - 2014: Western Australia Department of Corrective Services.
Perth, WA: Department of Corrective Services, Western Australia
The Department of Corrective Services' Offender drug and alcohol strategy 2010 - 2014 has been developed to address the specific needs of offenders in custody and under community supervision by providing a platform to address the harm caused from licit and illicit drug use. The strategy will ensure a range of measures are delivered to reduce offender drug use and prevent the associated harm. The strategy has a strong law enforcement approach, in addition to a holistic rehabilitative approach, to foster behaviour change that encourages law abiding lifestyles by reducing re-offending.

Indigenous dual diagnosis project (2009)
DrugInfo Clearinghouse
The DrugInfo Clearinghouse has developed this factsheet which outlines some of the key themes and findings from the consultation report developed during the first stage of the Indigenous dual diagnosis project.
This project has three aims: to increase coordination and collaboration between alcohol and other drug and mental health services; to develop and facilitate dual diagnosis training and resources that are culturally appropriate and relevant; and to build capacity in the Aboriginal workforce.
The findings described in the factsheet provide valuable insights for people working with Aboriginal clients with a dual diagnosis and their families and communities.
