POLICE/COURT DIVERSION: SERVICE PROVIDER TRAINING

Please note: 

In April 2026, the Queensland Parliament passed the Expanding Adult Crime, Adult Time and Taking a Strong Stance on Drugs and Anti-Social Behaviour Amendment Bill 2026, which creates a new Illicit Drug Enforcement and Diversion Framework (IDEDF) and replaces the existing Police Drug Diversion program. Commencement of the IDEDF is expected in late 2026 and will result in changes to the content currently presented within this module. 

Until such time the content of this module remains current.
