Australia’s most comprehensive one-stop source of information about alcohol and other drugs (AOD), the National Alcohol and Drug Knowledgebase (NADK) has been updated to include the latest information about alcohol use.

The NADK provides accurate and easy-to-understand information about AOD and features a series of frequently asked questions (FAQs) which present data in an easily understood manner.

Recent changes made by NCETA to the Alcohol Section include:

  • Extracting data from a range of sources (see below for more detail)
  • Using the analyses from various data sources to update the 99 FAQs in the Alcohol Section
  • Re-designing all the graphs in the Alcohol Section by including infographics to create a more user-friendly and interactive experience for people accessing the website
