WorkLife has been designed to help workplaces respond to alcohol and drug issues and to develop alcohol and drug policies - the central component of any response to workplace alcohol and drug issues. 

It was produced by the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA) in collaboration with the State Government of South Australia.

WorkLife will help you:

  • Understand more about alcohol and drugs
  • Promote workplace safety
  • Increase productivity
  • Reduce absenteeism
  • Comply with duty of care and legal obligations
  • Improve worker morale and wellbeing.

Developed by a Project Team in collaboration with key Reference Group stakeholders.

It builds on NCETA's 30+ years of experience in addressing alcohol and drugs in the workplace.
