It also discusses new initiatives that have been developed in response to the priority areas identified through consultations between the Department of Human Services and the Koori community. It is important to note that this document represents the Action Plan for 2003 / 2004 and is only the initial phase of a broader Koori Alcohol & Drug Strategy.
