Peak body welcomes Drug Summit report, calls for swift response

3 April 2025: The Network of Alcohol and other Drugs Agencies (NADA) has welcomed the NSW Drug Summit Report handed to the NSW Government today and urged the NSW Government to respond swiftly.

“The NSW Government now has the mandate they said they needed to make change – now we need to see action,” said Dr Robert Stirling, CEO of NADA.

“There are no big surprises in the report which is pleasing to see, and the sector is united on much of what is covered.”

“However, we note that many of the 56 priority actions were already covered in the ‘Ice Inquiry’ Report, and it’s time to get on with meaningful reform.”
