Project Description

The objective of this project was to disseminate to Aboriginal community controlled organisations, government agencies, researchers and other stakeholders information on projects being aimed specifically at reducing alcohol and other drug related harm among Aboriginal Australians. The database included details of project objectives and strategies and contact details for each of the organisations conducting the projects. When first developed, in 1994 copies of the database were distributed on computer disc free-of-charge and subsequently, in 1999, was released on the internet via NDRI’s website. By 2005, however, much of the information on the database was available from other sources and this and the unfunded expense in maintaining the database led to the decision to terminate the project.
