Competencies Update

This study examines the alignment of competencies for practitioners in addiction treatment, focusing on essential skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Conducted by Ministry of Health, the survey assesses current organizational responses and practitioner perspectives on joint competencies between AOD and PG, along with the support for DAPAANZ and levels of competence. Trends show strong endorsement for competencies related to working with communities, professional responsibility, assessment and intervention planning, and more. The results of the survey highlight areas for improvement in workforce retention and the need for standard competencies in the field.
