I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The existing WA Drug and Alcohol Strategy Senior Officers’ Group comprises all state government human service agencies. It will be the overarching coordination committee for the implementation of the government action plan arising from the Illicit Amphetamine Summit. The purpose of the senior officers’ group is to provide a whole-of-government approach to addressing all major drug and alcohol issues within Western Australia in line with the Western Australian Drug and Alcohol Strategy. The current members of the WA Drug and Alcohol Strategy Senior Officers’ Group are as follows - Terry Murphy, Drug and Alcohol Office; Myra Browne, Drug and Alcohol Office; Andrew Thompson, Department of Education and Training; Superintendent Jim Migro, WA Police; Leah Bonson, Department for Child Protection; Fiona Lander, Department for Community Development; Sue Leivers, Department of Health; Steven Willard, Department of Housing and Works; Chris Anderton, Department of Corrective Services; Lyne Acacio, Department of Indigenous Affairs; David Wray, Office of Crime Prevention; Virginia Scott, Department of Local Government and Regional Development; Jon Gibson, Office of Road Safety, Department of the Premier and Cabinet; and Janine Belling, Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor. The senior officers’ group for the Western Australian Drug and Alcohol Strategy 2005-2009 also oversees three other whole-of-government strategies; namely, the Western Australian Volatile Substance Use Plan 2005-2009; the Western Australian Alcohol Plan 2005-2009; and Strong Spirit Strong Mind: The Western Australian Aboriginal Alcohol and Other Drugs Plan 2005-2009. (2) Non-government agencies do not form part of the WADAS Senior Officers’ Group. Where initiatives that arise from the government action plan are implemented in the non-government sector, the government agency responsible for funding the relevant non-government organisation is accountable. The Drug and Alcohol Office has an ongoing partnership with the Western Australian Network of Alcohol and Other Drug Agencies, which represents non-government drug and alcohol agencies. This is a highly effective partnership that underpins the implementation of the WA Drug and Alcohol Strategy.
