The Northern Territory Government (NTG) facilitates the strategic policy and planning agenda for alcohol and other drugs in the Northern Territory in partnership with health services, non-government organisations and consumers. This grant program aims to minimise harm associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, including volatile substances, through a range of prevention, education and community action initiatives.

This year the program will have a coordinated approach, aligning with NT Police and Department of Logistics and Infrastructure for AOD and Towards Zero: Road Safety Action Plan 2024-2028. Focus will be on initiatives to increase awareness about the impact of AOD use on road safety.
