AODCCC

Alcohol and Other Drug

The Alcohol and Other Drug Consumer & Community Coalition (AODCCC) is the peak body for alcohol and other drug consumer-driven systemic advocacy in Western Australia. Our aim is to empower the voices of consumers, their families and supports, ensuring the health and wellbeing of our community.

The AODCCC was incorporated in June 2018 in response to the need and support for an alcohol and other drug specific, consumer-driven advocacy body. We have received funding from the Mental Health Commission in order to progress our establishment.

Mission

To promote the interests, education and welfare of those affected by alcohol and other drug use.

Vision

Community understanding shaped by the voice of people and families with lived experience of Alcohol and Other Drugs.

Values

The following set of values were developed utilising consultation inputs from the consumer and community think tank held in 2018:

Inclusion

We acknowledge the legitimacy of everyone’s experience and provide a safe space for diverse views to be shared.

Collaboration

We look for opportunities to bring consumers, family, community, policy makers and providers together for real change.

Accountability

We consult broadly and are open about our intent, activities and outcomes.

Leadership

We share bold visions and take courageous steps towards what is needed in the community.

Integrity

We respect and value the different perspectives and experiences of alcohol and other drug use.

We are currently in the midst of Reconciliation Week which provides a space for Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how we can contribute to achieving harmony between cultures in Australia.This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme is Be a Voice for Generations! This theme urges all Australians to use their power, their words and their actions to create a better, more just Australia for all of us.Each and every one of us has a role to play when it comes to reconciliation. In playing our part we can collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures. Reconciliation WA is hosting a free Walk for Reconciliation at Kaarta Koomba (Kings Park) on Friday 2nd June from 10am – 3:30pm. The walk will incorporate a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony, along with a range of cultural immersion opportunities throughout, including truth-telling, dancing and arts workshops.For more information on this event and to register your attendance, visit www.recwa.org.au/event/walk-for-reconciliation/ ...

The AODCCC have published a Position Statement on the regulations towards alcohol home delivery in WA. The current regulations will be reviewed later this year, to which we hope our position statement, along with submissions from other health and community representatives, will be taken into consideration when evaluating the future of alcohol home delivery in Western Australia. Our position has been informed by sector collaboration and research, along with consulting our consumer reference group, where we have been able to unpack and analyse the current regulations and the overall impact of alcohol home delivery services to the WA community.
