About CRC

The Community Restorative Centre is a NSW community organisation dedicated to supporting people affected by the criminal justice system, particularly prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families and friends.

CRC staff offer personal and practical assistance such as counselling, accommodation, a subsidised transport service, a court support service, outreach to prisons, and information, advice and referrals.

CRC address issues that can put people at risk of crime, such as drug and alcohol dependence, homelessness, unemployment, and social exclusion.

About NADA

The Network of Alcohol and other Drug Agencies (NADA) is the peak organisation for the non government drug and alcohol sector in NSW, and is primarily funded through NSW Health. NADA has over 100 members providing drug and alcohol health promotion, early intervention, treatment, and after-care programs. These organisations are diverse in their philosophy and approach to drug and alcohol service delivery and structure.

NADA's goal is to support non government drug and alcohol agencies in NSW to reduce the alcohol and drug related harm to individuals, families and the community.

The NADA program consists of sector representation and advocacy, workforce development, information/data management, governance and management support and a range of capacity development initiatives. NADA is governed by a Board of Directors primarily elected from the NADA membership and holds accreditation with the Australian Council on Health Care Standards (ACHS) until 2014.
