ACT harm reduction cost-benefit analysis (harm reduction review)
Summary
ACT Health funded an independent harm reduction review, led by the Australian National University and Burnet Institute. The review considered:
- what illicit drug harm reduction services are currently working well in the ACT
- what needs improvement and
- where the gaps are in the system.
This included reviewing the cost-effectiveness of existing harm reduction interventions and any additional activities that could benefit the ACT. The review was finalised in March 2025.
