Victorian State Government Budget Briefing for the Alcohol and Drug Sector (2003).

The budget briefing for the Victorian Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) sector was held on Wednesday May 7 2003. The briefing was hosted by the Victorian Alcohol and Drug Association (VAADA) in conjunction with the Department of Human Services (DHS) and represented a good opportunity for people working in the field to find out more about the impact the budget will have on the sector. The briefing was attended by many representatives in the AOD sector. In summary, the budget outcomes for the Victorian AOD sector are positive. The increased stability provided to the sector by a four year allocation of funding from the Community Support Fund in the Department of Communities to DHS appropriation (and the move to three year funding and service agreements with likely in built CPI) will assist agencies to plan long term. In addition to this, the maintenance of the existing resource base and increased support for system development are both good outcomes, particularly given that AOD issues are not currently high on the political agenda.

Is getting pissed getting pathetic?. A Report of the joint VAADA/YACVic Youth Binge Drinking forum held at the Melbourne Town Hall.

The issue of youth binge drinking has attracted intense community and media interest in recent times. The perception in the community, often due to sensational media, is that young people are binge drinking more than ever before. While the concerns raised are understandable, youth binge drinking represents a more complex issue than what is often portrayed in the media and provides some very real challenges for governments and the broader community.

What is clear is the need to gain a greater understanding of youth binge drinking; the issues surrounding binge drinking; the associated harms and approaches to dealing with these harms; and the need for effective harm minimisation strategies. It is also important to understand drinking from multi-dimensional perspectives including: young people, parental, industry, rural, indigenous and alcohol and drug service providers in order to gain an understanding of the complexity of this issue and the need for a comprehensive approach.

[107.50Kb]	Victorian State Government Budget Briefing for the Alcohol and Drug Sector (2003). The budget briefing for the Victorian Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) sector was held on Wednesday May 7 2003. The briefing was hosted by the Victorian Alcohol and Drug Association (VAADA) in conjunction with the Department of Human Services (DHS) and represented a good opportunity for people working in the field to find out more about the impact the budget will have on the sector. The briefing was attended by many representatives in the AOD sector. In summary, the budget outcomes for the Victorian AOD sector are positive. The increased stability provided to the sector by a four year allocation of funding from the Community Support Fund in the Department of Communities to DHS appropriation (and the move to three year funding and service agreements with likely in built CPI) will assist agencies to plan long term. In addition to this, the maintenance of the existing resource base and increased support for system development are both good outcomes, particularly given that AOD issues are not currently high on the political agenda.

[388.12Kb]	Is getting pissed getting pathetic?. A Report of the joint VAADA/YACVic Youth Binge Drinking forum held at the Melbourne Town Hall. The issue of youth binge drinking has attracted intense community and media interest in recent times. The perception in the community, often due to sensational media, is that young people are binge drinking more than ever before. While the concerns raised are understandable, youth binge drinking represents a more complex issue than what is often portrayed in the media and provides some very real challenges for governments and the broader community. What is clear is the need to gain a greater understanding of youth binge drinking; the issues surrounding binge drinking; the associated harms and approaches to dealing with these harms; and the need for effective harm minimisation strategies. It is also important to understand drinking from multi-dimensional perspectives including: young people, parental, industry, rural, indigenous and alcohol and drug service providers in order to gain an understanding of the complexity of this issue and the need for a comprehensive approach.
