About us
The Queensland Network of Alcohol and Drug Agencies (QNADA), is the peak organisation representing the views of the non-government (NGO) Alcohol and other Drug (AOD) sector.
The sector consists of organisations involved in the continuum of care for individuals and their families affected by alcohol and drug use. QNADA members provide drug education and information, early intervention, outreach, detoxification, residential rehabilitation, psychosocial and medical treatment, relapse prevention, justice diversion, and social inclusion. Associate members are non-government organisations that provide other services, such as housing, employment and financial assistance to the same clients. Associate Members also include nongovernment research organisations and peak bodies of sectors concerned about alcohol and drug issues.
QNADA is committed to supporting our members to delivery high quality service to individuals, families and communities affected by alcohol and other drugs. Our primary functions include:
- supporting and advancing the Queensland AOD sector to build its capacity to respond to existing and emerging harms caused by alcohol and other drugs
- supporting the information and technology needs of our member agencies, particularly with regard to State and Federal data reporting requirements
- sharing information through regular forums, events and workshops on key sector issues
- providing advice and information regarding available funding opportunties.
QNADA was established in 2007 to deliver professional, quality, and relevant services that will assist in the development and growth of the NGO AOD sector across Queensland. QNADA also liaises with key government, industry and social sector representatives.
