The National Centre for Clinical Research on Emerging Drugs (NCCRED) brings researchers, practitioners and consumers together to create a robust evidence base for treatment and interventions for people who use methamphetamine and emerging other drugs of concern.

About this program

NCCRED applies its vision by: 

  1. Increasing the range of evidence-based pharmacotherapies and other clinical interventions 
  2. Enabling more proactive and informed health responses to emerging drugs of concern through national information sharing  
  3. Translating and communicating evidence for AOD workers to deliver best-practice responses
