Victoria's alcohol & drug treatment services - Framework for service
delivery
Page content: Contents | Download documents
This framework defines the components of the specialist drug and alcohol service system in Victoria and the context in which services are delivered. It describes the purpose and objectives of the service and the key specifications for each component of the service. It outlines the way services will be organised and managed across the State and how funds will be distributed for the purchase of services. The document also lists the principles under which services will operate to ensure access for all Victorians, by eliminating barriers to service for young people, for those with linguistic and cultural differences, and for those who have historically been unable to gain access to existing services.
