From the ipen of the Executive Officer

Welcome to the third edition of QNADA Focus for 2013. I hope you enjoy this edition. This issue I am delighted to announce the launch of the new QNADA website. The website will become a great hub for communicating with our members and sharing resources. Ive been chatting to the QH folk recently, keeping in touch about a range of issues and am hopeful that contracts for the period beyond July 2013 will be with you all shortly, so stay tuned! As always, Marguerite and I have been busy with a number of policy submissions and consultation processes, with the key activities summarised on page 8. In a nutshell, our message runs along the lines of the NGO AOD sector provides a wide range of AOD services across the state that benefit communities and families and with greater investment, we can deliver more high quality, cost-effectives services. Thank you to those members whove contributed to the consultation processes, providing ideas, background, practical experiences and support for the submissions. Last month we were able to provide subsidys for a number of members to attend the PHAA Complex and Social Needs Conference in Canberra. A thank you to Charlie from Goldbridge for his summary , which can be found on page 4. Well shortly be advertising more scholarships to attend conferences over the rest of the yeartheres quite a few coming up in the second half of the year that will be held in Brisbane, so stay tuned. Recently the Qld Treasurer tabled the governments response to the Costello Commission of Audit (view the report). Ive done a quick scan of the health and community services recommendations and it doesnt seem theres anything new its all about contestability of services (good for us) and clarifying responsibilities with the Federal Government (also good for us). Finally a reminder that Drug Action Week is fast approaching. We know that many of you are planning activities and it would be great if you not only let ADCA know so that they can promote your activities and supply you with materials but also us as well help promote your events also. You can do this on the Drug Action Week website. Were currently finalising our plans and will let you know what well be up to very soon. Happy reading!

Thanks for having us Nth QLD!

In mid March QNADA visit North QLD to meet with our members and discuss the opportunities and challenges within the region. A Summary of the forums is available on the QNADA website. In both Townsville and Cairns the forums brought together workers from Medicare Locals, HHSs, community services, government departments and research institutes, GPs and allied health professionals. Discussion focused on the primary drugs of concern and demographics of clients in each region, as well as considering how QNADA could facilitate greater collaboration. It was also great to undertake some site visits with our members. Theres nothing like seeing a service in actionit always provides a deeper understanding than you can get from phone conversations. During the site visits issues discussed included: an urgent need for funding assistance to support infrastructure maintenance and expansion; a growing demand for residential rehabilitation services for families and women with under school aged children; the sometimes unintended impacts of policy changes across communities, including economic policy reform in discrete communities; and the review of Alcohol Management Plans - AMPs have had positive impacts on reducing harm associated with alcohol misuse, however there have been some unintended consequences with respect to increased illicit substance misuse.

All in all it was a great visit and we look forward to working together to action some of the great ideas that were discussed.

the new QNADA website is here!

Weve been busy developing a new QNADA website over the last few months and are very proud (and a little relieved) to say its now live! The website will be a great way to maintain communication with you, our members, but will also serve to highlight the activities of the sector. Features of the website include: A Press Room including sector views, QNADA policy positions and submission, a gallery of photos from events and even a high 5 section where the great work of our members is highlighted; AOD JobBoard for QNADA members and other related sectors to post current vacancies; and A Training and events calendar.

Weve retained the members only section which will require a password. Once its up and running, youll be able to request access by emailing info@qnada.org.au. A service finder which includes all member organisations and a short description of the work you do will also be added shortly. For now, make sure you bookmark the QNADA website and stop back regularly. Wed also welcome your feedback and thoughts on the website. For those of you who use CADDS you can access it a few ways the quickest way is via the Resources tab on the main menu.

Social Inclusion and Complex Needs in practice: Working Together

Earlier the month QNADA sponsored five members to attend the PHAA National Social Inclusion and Complex Needs Conference in Canberra. We thank Charlie of Goldbridge for this summary of the conference and you can view other summaries on the QNADA Board. Firstly, Goldbridge very much appreciates the support of QNADA for the acquisition of a scholarship to attend the PHAA - National Social Inclusion and Complex Needs Conference in Canberra. Attendance at the conference complimented various activities in our quest to increase knowledge about the complex needs of our AOD clients, and was a great opportunity to hear first -hand of current trends, with a view of steering Goldbridge in directions which continue to meet the current and emerging needs of our clients. Of particular note was the plight of women, with reports stating they have very high mental health/AOD use problems, and greater barriers to treatment, which confirms our own opinion there needs to be treatment facilities which can house women accompanied by young children. The idea of a greater number of gender specific treatment options was also floated by Angela Dawson, University of Technology, Sydney. Related to this, was the presentation by Jill Roberts (Justice & Forensic MH Network, NSW), suggesting that women entering incarceration have very high rates of AOD use problems, with particular concern for those who are pregnant in a challenging prison health care system, but by engaging them in to treatment early, has provided opportunities to improve their health status and those of unborn babies. The Smoke-Free policy in a residential setting, presented by Angela Hehir (J&FMH Network NSW), had some interesting outcomes, noting that smoking rates for MH patients is higher than the norm. About 39% of people were angry at being forced to stop, yet 45% had wanted to give up, with 75% feeling that living in a smoke-free environment had a positive effect on their health, with many intending to remain smoke-free on discharge. It seems likely, that similar outcomes would be found in a residential AOD setting. The S-Check project, a new early intervention project for stimulant users, was presented by Nadine Ezard, St Vincents Hospital, NSW), and is due to commence in May 2013. The aim of the project is to provide a low threshold intervention to bridge to the gap between treatment and no-treatment, and will include brief interventions, biopsychosocial assessments and referrals. The presentation made by Gino Vumbacca (ANCD), was of particular interest in light of the Queensland Drug Court closing, as interstate, it is seen as a cost effective measure of diverting people to residential treatment, as opposed to prison. The Blood, Sweat and Tears session, discussed building sustainable interagency and intersectoral relationships, which involved a forum of agencies developing a collaborative strategy to address service systems barriers. This linked in quite well to the Creating An Integrated Primary Mental Health Platform, whereby the collaboration of primary care and public service provision are being co -located under the one roof. Since the overall theme of the conference was about social inclusion and complex needs, unsurprisingly much was spoken about Partnership Development, Shared Care and that Best Practice = Integrated Practice. While most models presented seemed very successful, from the point of view of Goldbridge however, it seems we have much more work to do, particularly in building stronger partnerships in the local mental health field, since the current situation seems to be the MH field not fully recognising the duality of AOD/MH problems therefore, this will remain a challenge for now, and the future.

If youve got any questions or are interested in any of the topics described in this article, contact Charlie to find out more. QNADA thanks the PHAA for an informative and engaging conference. Not only did the conference provide many, many ideas for thought and possible implementation in QLD, but the great cross-section of attendees meant that networking was of great benefit. You can vsit the PHAA website to view the presentations and panel discussions and presentations by the Honorable Mark Butler MP, Minister for Mental Health and Ageing and Andrew Laming MP, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary Regional Health Services and Indigenous Health.

Does this match your experience?

The AIHW recently released a breakdown by jurisdiction of the NMDS for 2010 -11. This information may be handy for your organisation when writing grant submissions or tenders or even when youre speaking to local politicians or the general community about AOD issues. Just remember the NMDS combines data from both QH services and the NGO sector. That said, of the 109 agencies that reported data, 58 agencies were from the NGO sector. The 109 publicly funded alcohol and other drug treatment agencies provided 26,541 treatment episodes in 201011. Almost all (96%) episodes were provided to clients who received treatment for their own drug use, and nearly three -quarters (72%) of these clients were male. Alcohol was the most common principal drug of concern for clients receiving treatment for their own drug use, accounting for more than one third (38%) of episodes closed in 201011. The next most common principal drug of concern were cannabis (29%), amphetamines (8%) and heroin (6%). Over the 9 years from 200203, the proportion of closed episodes where alcohol was a principal drug of concern steadily increased from 25%, while interestingly cannabis as a principal drug decreased from 50%. You can read more on the AIHW website.

NMDS Reminder: Its due in October and check your contract as you might now be required to submit your data for via QNADA.
Are you ready for the new data item, the Statistical Linkage Key (SLK)? It takes the form XXXXXDDMMYYYYN as follows: 2nd, 3rd and 5th letters of the family name (the first 3 Xs) 2nd and 3rd letters of the given name (the 4th and 5th X) Date of birth by day, month and four-digit year Sex (1 for Male, 2 for Female, 3 for Intersex or Indeterminate and 9 for not stated/inadequately described). So the SLK for Cynthia Jones, born 25 March 1982 would be ONSYN250319822 easy, right!

Are you currently considering the comorbidity capacity of your organisation?

This phase of the Improved Services Initiative (2012 -15) is not just about supporting those organisations that received funding through the Substance Misuse Service Delivery Grants Fund. We know that everyday you are working with clients who have co-occurring substance misuse and mental health issues. QNADA is able to offer a range of services and support to assist you in improving the way in which comorbidity services are delivered, as well as help you with quality improvement activities generally. Were working on developing a training calendar and inventory of training providers. If you would like to discuss how your organisation can participate, Marguerite would love to hear from you.

Gindaja Beat da Binge

QNADA extends a high 5 to Gindaja on this exciting initiative which demonstrates that grass root activities are an important and successful means of addressing binge drinking.
The multi-disciplinary research team, which worked collaboratively on the project with the Yarrabah community, included researchers from The Cairns Institute at James Cook University, the University of Newcastle, and the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. A/Professor Anthony Shakeshaft, deputy director of NDARC, said the findings showed projects led and designed by communities can be highly effective. For too long governments and researchers have presented Indigenous communities with policies and ideas we think they could implement, but this project has rightly turned that approach on its head, he said.
Yarrabah researchers collecting data to support the evaluation.

The Beat da Binge initiative, developed by Gindaja Treatment and Healing Indigenous Corporation in partnership with other local community organisations, focuses on binge drinking as a key concern in the North Queensland Indigenous community of Yarrabah. The two-year $250,000 project, funded through the Federal Governments National Binge Drinking Strategy, targeted greater involvement of young Indigenous people to build the evidence about binge drinking behaviours, and analysie and influence the possible causes of binge drinking. The results indicate that since the start of Beat da Binge in 2011, there are now: 16 per cent fewer young binge drinkers in Yarrabah a 27 per cent increase in awareness of binge drinking a 16 per cent increase in awareness of what a standard drink is The biggest reductions in drinking were for the consumption of spirits, which is most promising because the high alcohol content of spirits makes them especially dangerous for young people. Gindaja Treatment and Healing Indigenous Corporation Chief Executive Officer Ailsa Lively said it was important that young people in Yarrabah had been involved in much of the projects design and decision -making, and in running related community events. Im sure that this community-driven approach is a major reason why we have been able to see such positive results from this project, Ms Lively said.

It shows Indigenous communities can design and source funds for their own programs, then partner with researchers to evaluate them. I think this is the blue-print for a better form of integrated community and research partnerships. The final report on the initiative is expected to be released in June this year.

NHMRC 2012 CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER The National Health and Medical Research Council is pleased to advise that the 2012 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Borderline Personality Disorder was launched by the Hon Mark Butler MP, Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, on 15 March 2013. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is the most common and serious of the personality disorders, affecting 1% of the general population. The guideline was developed by a multidisciplinary committee and will assist health professionals to diagnose, treat and manage BPD in adolescents and adults. The guideline will also improve understanding and recognition of BPD in health services and the community. The guideline can be found through the NHMRCs Clinical Practice Guideline portal using guideline ID number 2223. ONLINE MOOD ASSESSMENT PROGRAM Almost 20,000 depression sufferers have now benefitted from the diagnostic assistance of the Black Dog Institutes free online Mood Assessment Program.

TURNING ACTION INTO TALKING

(HANG ON ITS THE OTHER WAY ROUND RIGHT!???!)
QNADA has an important role to play in supporting the development of evidence-based policy for the AOD sector at both a state and national level and weve been busy consulting and making submissions over the last six weeks. Safer Streets Crime Action PlanYouth Justice
Over the last several weeks weve been talking to many of you about the review of the youth justice system. For those who arent aware, the Attorney-General recently commenced a broad review of the youth justice system through 2013-14. From here, a Blueprint for the Future of Youth Justice in Queensland will be developed and delivered. Members are strongly encouraged to view the consultation paper and contribute to the survey on the DJAG website. The consultation paper canvases opinion on the following issues: Boot Camps Youth Justice Act Review Effective Sentencing Options Responding to causes of crime Managing demand for youth justice services Early Intervention and Diversion Effective NGO investment Improving detention centre services Wed also love to hear your views on the issues raised. You can either flick us an email at info@qnada.org.au or have a chat on (07) 3023 5050. Public awareness campaigns; Community/placebased interventions; Opportunistic interventions; Screening; and Group based programs.

In many cases, the proposed reforms seem destined to counteract attempts to influence Australias drinking culture towards safe levels of consumption and are instead alcohol industry driven, under the guise of increasing tourism and enhancing the Queensland economy. These reforms will instead further the trend of the normalisation of alcohol consumption, which international experience has demonstrated bring with a concomitant increase in the level of alcohol related harm. Wed like to thank the National Alliance for Action on Alcohol (NAAA) for their interest in this debate and their support of not only QNADAs submission but also QNADA members who made submissions. All submissions to the consultation process are publicly available. The consultation process attracted 196 submissions from individuals, liquor and gaming bodies, local clubs and social services organisations. Read the submissions to the consultation paper.

Liquor Licensing
In March QNADA made a submission to the Red Tape Reduction and Other Reform proposals for regulation of liquor and gaming conducted by the Office of Best Practice Regulation. View the QNADA submission. QNADA asserted that in considering the requests of industry for reduced red-tape and a flexible licencing scheme to allow for an expansion of the industry and greater economic growth, consideration must equally be given to the extensive evidence-base regarding the harms associated with alcohol misuse. Successful strategies to minimise alcohol related harms must be developed within a public health framework which acknowledges the importance of a comprehensive approach across a range of policy levers including: Laws and regulations; Tax and price interventions; Improving the built environment eg. density of outlets;

Short and Sweet

QNADA has also recently made submissions to: The Engaging today for a better tomorrow Engagement Code consultation which will inform future engagement with the NFP sector under the National Compact; and Health & Community Services Council survey for the industry skills and workforce development report, highlighting the specialist nature of the AOD workforce.

You can view these under sector views on the QNADA website.

FARE's Annual Alcohol Poll: tanked, troubled, but eager for reform
Australians are drinking to get drunk in greater numbers and feeling guilty afterwards, but remain overwhelmingly in favour of fixing our collective national hangover. This year, FARE's Annual Alcohol Poll found that in 2013, 40 per cent or 4.5 million Australians drank to get drunk , 31 per cent or 3.5 million Australians felt guilty after drinking, and an overwhelming majority of Australians believe more must be done to address alcohol-related harms. Other results revealed: that 23 per cent of Australian drinkers had not been able to stop drinking once they started 26 per cent couldnt remember what had happened the night before. 60 per cent of Australian drinkers continue to prefer drinking alcohol at home more than half of all drinkers (57%) consume alcohol before going out to a club or pub. Almost one third (32%) of drinkers regretted phoning, texting, emailing or posting on social media, with Gen Y (47%) the most likely to regret doing so. that Australians again overwhelmingly support the introduction of health information labels on alcohol products (61%) as well as a ban on alcohol advertising on weekends and weekdays before 8:30pm (64%). Find out more about the Poll on FARE's website. Wasted lives: Queenslands drug battle was published in the Brisbane Times in March 2013 some interesting perspectives Read the articles...
