Drugs
The National Drug Strategy 2004-2009 provides a framework for a coordinated, integrated approach to drug issues in the Australian community, agreed by all Australian governments. Its mission is to improve health, social and economic outcomes by preventing the uptake of harmful drug use and reducing the harmful effects of licit and illicit drugs in Australian society
The Attorney-General's Department (AGD) contributes to the development of national drug policy, primarily in the area of supply reduction of illicit drugs. It provides policy advice to the Australian Government on drug issues, providing coordinated Commonwealth law enforcement responses on current and emerging drug issues. AGD works closely with the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service and the Australian Crime Commission.
