Revision of the second edition of the National Comorbidity Guidelines


The Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use at the University of Sydney has been funded by the Australian Government Department of Health to update and revise the ‘Guidelines on the management of co-occurring alcohol and other drug and mental health conditions in alcohol and other drug treatment settings’ (second edition).
National Comorbidity Guideline (second edition)
Originally published in 2009, with the second edition released in 2016, this hugely popular resource aimed to provide alcohol and other drug (AOD) workers with evidence-based information on the management of comorbid mental health conditions in AOD settings. The revision of the second edition will bring the Guidelines up to date with the most current evidence. The project is being undertaken by Dr Christina Marel, Prof Katherine Mills, Dr Alana Fisher, Ms Erin Madden, Prof Maree Teesson, Dr Mark Deady, Prof Frances Kay-Lambkin, Prof Amanda Baker, Prof Andrew Baillie, and Prof Kevin Gournay.

How to participate in the update of the National Comorbidity Guidelines

We would be delighted if members of the alcohol and other drugs sector (including alcohol and other drug workers, clinicians, healthcare workers, consumers and people with lived experience of mental health and substance use, family members, carers, and academic experts) would be interested in participating in the revision through one (or more) of the following:
  1. Attending one of two online discussion forums;
  2. Completing a short online survey;
  3. Emailing feedback about the Guidelines directly to our team.

Online discussion forums: event details
We are holding two online discussion forums open to anyone (additional discussion forums may be made available depending on demand). We will discuss the content of the Guidelines with a particular focus on how we could improve upon the existing resource. A copy of the current edition of the Guidelines is available for download on the Comorbidity Guidelines website: https://comorbidityguidelines.org.au/pdf/comorbidity-guideline.pdf
