WHAT: The Network of Alcohol and Drugs Agencies (NADA) CEO Dr Robert Stirling is available for interviews during the two-day Sydney Drug Summit at the ICC on 4 and 5 December.
Dr Stirling has been a vocal advocate for reform in NSW alcohol and other drugs policy, urging the government to adopt a health-based approach. This means changing our approach to personal use of drugs so that if people are experiencing issues, they feel safe to ask for help. This also means removing barriers to treatment by increasing funding to expand access to support services.
NADA believes the Summit presents a crucial opportunity for the government to take decisive action.
