The goal of the National Alcohol Strategy is to minimise alcohol-related harm to individuals, families and society.

Part one introduces the strategy.

Part two provides a discussion and overview of key alcohol issues. It covers patterns of consumption, types of alcohol-related harm, and groups at risk of harm, as well as high-risk environments and events.

Part three lists the alcohol-related priorities for action, and the desired outcomes for each priority, as specified by the National Drug Policy.

Part four presents a range of strategies for addressing alcohol-related harm. The strategies are grouped into three broad categories – supply control, demand reduction and problem limitation.

Part five emphasises the importance of professional education in effectively addressing alcohol-related harm and outlines a range of strategies for workforce development.

Part six outlines a framework for monitoring and measuring progress towards the National Drug Policy’s alcohol-related outcomes, and presents a number of possibilities for future research.
