2016-12 Response to the Independent Review into the impact on employment outcomes of drug or alcohol addiction, and obesity
We welcome the opportunity to respond to this review. This submission focuses on employment outcomes for individuals facing drug and/or alcohol addictions. However, in doing so it is important to stress that such conditions rarely arise in isolation and are likely to be linked to a range of other problems and barriers, such as: poor mental health; trauma; violence and abuse; repeat victimisation; social isolation; homelessness; and challenges linked to current or past offending behaviour.
