NADA position paper: Measuring performance of NSW non-government alcohol and other drugs treatment services
NADA has developed a position paper on measuring performance of NSW non-government alcohol and other drug treatment services. Click here.
The paper has been developed based on extensive research, led by NADA, which is documented in two peer-review publications and thesis. The research involved the significant engagement of NSW NGO AOD treatment providers, service users and funders.
The purpose of this position paper is to:
- Provide an overview of the research undertaken to identify a core set of performance measures
- Outlines NADA’s position on policy, practice and future research
- Provide recommendations to improve performance measurement for NSW NGO AOD treatment services.
The paper has been provided to all funders of NSW non-government AOD treatment services.
Please contact Robert if you have any questions about the paper.
