In an effort to address the harm associated with methamphetamine in WA, the WA Government committed $83.5 million over four years for the creation of the WA Police Meth Border Force and a further $45 million over four years to implement the Methamphetamine Action Plan (2017 - 18 State Budget). The Plan aims to reduce methamphetamine demand, harm and supply.
Recognising that more can and should be done to tackle the impact of methamphetamine use on individuals, families and the community, the Methamphetamine Action Plan Taskforce was appointed on 26 June 2017 to provide advice to the Government on how programs can be best delivered and targeted to areas of greatest need.
The Taskforce has engaged with the WA community to understand the challenges we face and help the Taskforce formulate its advice to Government on practical ways to reduce methamphetamine harm, supply and demand.
This report provides a summary of what the Taskforce heard, what those challenges are, and community views on how to tackle them. The Taskforce is due to submit its final report to Government mid to late 2018.
