Codeine Upscheduling Forum

WANADA is the peak body for the alcohol and other drug education, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and support sector in Western Australia. We are an independent, membership driven, not-for-profit association. The work of WANADA includes; workforce planning, Aboriginal networking, consultation, lobbying, sector planning, representation and service enhancement on behalf of members and the sector.

Western Australian Network of Alcohol and other Drug Agencies (WANADA)

From February 1, codeine will no longer be available without a script. 20% of over-the-counter users meet the criteria for dependence. 58% of dependent users report no problematic alcohol and other drug history, and 75% of them have never sought help.
Use in WA is above average, and Australia’s highest rates of use are in regional and remote areas.
What effects will this changed scheduling have on the AOD sector in WA?
Join WANADA on 21 February to learn more about the likely impacts and discuss what we might need to do. Please note: the Residential Services Forum will follow, after lunch.
Speakers will include: Dr Suzanne Nielsen, Pharmacist and Senior Research Fellow at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, UNSW.
Your earliest registration will be appreciated.
