AADANT AOD Case Management Toolkit and AOD Handbook Survey

About this Survey
AADANT, in partnership with Sand Palm Consulting, is redeveloping the AOD Case Management Toolkit and creating a new AOD Handbook to strengthen and support best practice across the NT AOD sector.

This short survey is the first step in shaping these resources. We want to hear from you, the people working directly in the sector, about how the current Toolkit is used, what is most useful, what is missing, and what should be included in the new Toolkit and Handbook.

Your input will guide the structure, content, and supporting tools including two online training modules. It will also feed directly into the first consultation session, where sector representatives will work together to design the framework before drafts are developed and tested later on.
