• Articulating a shared vision, principles, aims and goals to continually improve the Victorian drug service system;
• Establishing strategic priorities and future directions to guide service planning, delivery and evaluation;
• Defining and clarifying roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of all stakeholders; &
• Ensuring stronger collaboration, partnerships and linkages to respond more effectively to alcohol and other drug issues for individuals, families and communities.
