Australia has seen a substantial increase in the provision of alcohol and other drug (AOD) education and training by tertiary providers in the last decade (Roche 2001). Diverse AOD tertiary education and training opportunities exist at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels across all states and territories.

Alcohol and Other Drugs: Database of Tertiary Courses offered in Australia

NCETA has compiled a CD-ROM which provides information on AOD tertiary training opportunities available in Australia. The CD ROM is titled 'Alcohol and Other Drugs Database of Tertiary Courses offered in Australia'.

This CD ROM outlines the key findings of the project, presents an examination of the current tertiary sector and explores how a changing tertiary sector is impacting on AOD education and training.

To order a copy of the CD-ROM please contact us and we will send one out to you. Or alternatively, click below and view by topic.
