As part of our submission we highlighted:

We agree with the proposed SA AOD sector workforce priorities and objectives.

A key challenge identified by UC staff was the lack of available specialised AOD specific training and qualifications across Australia.

We see the need for the development and creation of dedicated standalone AOD VET and undergraduate courses, emphasising the specialist skills required to effectively engage with people that access support from the AOD sector.

We look forward to continuing our work with DASSA to progress this strategy and to meaningfully engage with the framework in the years to come.
