Agencies

In 2017–18:

  • almost two-thirds (64%) of AOD agencies in Queensland are non-government treatment agencies that receive public funding
  • over half (51%) of the 176 treatment agencies in Queensland were located in Major cities, followed by Outer regional (20%) and Inner regional (19%) areas
  • around 22% of all government organisations in Queensland are located in Remote and Very remote areas (Figure 12; Table SA.3).

In the 5 years to 2017–18, the number of publicly funded treatment agencies in Queensland rose from 141 in 2013–14 to 181 in 2014–15, dropping to 168 in 2016–17, and rising again to 176 in 2017–18 (Table SA.1).
