National project on drink spiking: Investigating the nature and extent of drink spiking in Australia

Abstract

This report brings together information about drink spiking from a variety of sources across Australia and internationally. The report summarises the literature and research to date on drink spiking and analyses data from a range of sources to build an empirical evidence base on drink spiking. It highlights what needs to be done to improve evidence collection and rates of prosecution. It summarises key themes which emerged from discussions with stakeholders and identifies potential educational initiatives to prevent and respond to drink spiking.

Commissioned by the Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy as a project under the cost shared funding arrangement.
