Home Our Work Health system integration and reform translation Alcohol and other Drug Integration

Statewide approaches to alcohol and other drugs health is a shared priority of the six Victorian Primary Health Networks, an Australian Government Initiative and the Victorian Government Department of Health and Human Services. Parties have committed to implement a shared program of work to focus on the integration of alcohol and other drug services across the system, with a focus on: provision of high quality and earlier care (including local secondary consultation relationships); building capacity of primary care providers; mapping clear referral pathways across PHN regions, and increasing linkage with social support services, including mental health services.

Collective efforts include the development, implementation and oversight of a statewide strategic plan to:

  1. Enhance primary care capacity for AOD prevention and early intervention, and integration and linkage with specialist AOD services
  2. Map specialist referral pathways between primary care and specialist AOD services, and maximise strategies to enhance linked service responses
  3. Develop strategies and processes to support co-commissioning by PHNs and DHHS for better results.

In line with this, a shared position of Senior Lead AOD Integration has been established to support robust and outcome-based alcohol and other drug planning, guideline development, and service responses across Victoria.
