Scope:	The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander standalone substance use services DSS describes the provision of treatment and assistance for a range of substance use issues for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. This includes both illicit substances and the use of alcohol, and tobacco and nicotine. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander standalone substance use services provide treatment and assistance through residential treatment and rehabilitation programs; sobering-up and residential respite and short-term care; non-residential counselling and rehabilitation programs; or through a combination of these. The aggregate level collection supports information to be collected at the service provider organisation level. The reporting period is between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2011.

Collection and usage attributes

Guide for use:

This DSS is a component of the OATSIH Services Reporting (OSR) DSS 2010-11. The OATSIH Services Reporting (OSR) data set specification (DSS) is used to collect service level information from primary health care, standalone substance use and Bringing Them Home and Link Up counselling service providers that received funding from OATSIH for the period 2010–11.

Collection methods:

Information about residential programs is only collected from standalone substance use services that provide residential treatment/rehabilitation.

Implementation start date:

01/07/2010

Implementation end date:

30/06/2011

Comments:

Substance use can cause harm to individuals, their families and communities. It contributes significantly to the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in life expectancy and other health outcomes. The Australian Government aims to reduce alcohol and other drug problems in Indigenous communities. Improved access to treatment is one of the priority areas of the National Drug Strategy (MCDS 2004).
