Policy and practice in harm reduction in Australasia

This chapter has a different format from the other chapters. The author originally commissioned to write the chapter was unable to deliver it late in the process. We asked a number of distinguished experts from Australia and New Zealand to write a brief piece on their perceptions of the current situation of harm reduction in their countries. What we have now are six contributions and a brief commentary. There is a small overlap between some contributions but this is the nature of these individual contributions and as such they have remained as integrated pieces.
