2010 National Drug and Alcohol Awards now open for nominations

Many exceptional people in exceptional organisations work to prevent and reduce alcohol and other drugs (AOD) use and associated harm in Australia, yet they are often the forgotten achievers who receive little recognition.

The National Drug and Alcohol Awards (NDAA) incorporate a range of Award Categories, reflecting the diversity of the AOD sector. The awards were initiated by the Ted Noffs Foundation, the Australian National Council on Drugs (ANCD), the Alcohol and other Drugs Council of Australia (ADCA), and the Australian Drug Foundation (ADF). The 2010 awards are being coordinated by the Ted Noffs Foundation and DRUG ARM (Australasia). The collaborating organisations acknowledge the support of the Prime Minister and our sponsors.

In 2010 the NDAA Committee inaugurates the “Excellence in creating healthy sporting communities” category. This award, sponsored by the Australian Drug Foundation, is designed to recognise sporting associations, codes or clubs which are taking steps to manage and prevent the harms caused by alcohol and other drugs.

Nominations close 5 pm (EDST) Friday 16 April 2010.

For more information on the 2010 Awards call or email the NDAA Event Manager.
