13. Improved access to drug and alcohol programs and services

Drug and alcohol services can provide both prevention and care services. There is a perceived gap in drug and alcohol services, particularly in rural areas (early identification; recognition; services to assist)

The network should include drug and alcohol service providers to develop relevant services and resources for the farm sector, and to ensure that treatment services are accessible and effective.
