Description

The National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) opened in 1987 and is funded by the Australian Government under the National Drug Strategy. The centre aims to conduct research to increase the effectiveness of interventions by:

• identifying the harms for which treatment is required
• disseminating the range and effectiveness of treatment options to practitioners
• and increasing awareness of effective treatment and other harm minimisation strategies to those suffering substance misuse.

NDARC produces its own research monographs and technical report series. Other activities include an annual symposium, conferences and educational workshops. A free quarterly newsletter called CentreLines is produced in conjunction with the National Drug Research Institute in Perth to increase communication between researchers and between researchers and practitioners.
