In working toward our goals we will ensure the safest possible environment in relation to alcohol and other drug problems today and into the future. To achieve this, we are continually: creating thriving service delivery, research and development cultures that produce the best possible knowledge applying, using and translating this knowledge to promote change, build effective and rational policy, and demonstrate and contribute to world’s best practice building our own and our communities’ capacity through strategic relationships, partnerships and collaborations strengthening organisational capacity to provide the best environment for quality staff to achieve their potential Since being established in 1994, Turning Point has led research and its translation into policy and practice at a local, national and international level.
