The 10-year strategic plan for the drug and alcohol treatment and recovery workforce has been launched to inform national, local and employer drug and alcohol treatment and recovery workforce planning cycles over the next 10 years. It will support consistency and clarity in workforce planning, development and expansion across the sector and facilitate improved standardisation of workforce education and training.

The strategic plan marks a major milestone in the national drug and alcohol treatment and recovery workforce transformation programme. It will help to build a sustainable, multidisciplinary drug and alcohol treatment and recovery workforce, equipped with the capabilities and capacity to help people to reduce risk and initiate, sustain and strengthen recovery.
