About us
Of Substance is a free, quarterly magazine that addresses alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) issues and problems in Australia today. The magazine’s primary audience is frontline workers in the drug and alcohol field, however, it is highly relevant to individuals and organisations from many related sectors including health professionals, social workers, educators, researchers, law enforcers and policy-makers.
Written in plain English, Of Substance reports on the latest news and research in the field; regional, national and international data and trends; and a range of skills and techniques for best practice treatment.
