Drug Alerts Feed

Published alerts from national and jurisdictional drug checking and health services

The Know NSW Health VPTS CanTEST QLD Health
About this feed: Drug alerts are sourced via RSS from The Know, state and territory health departments, and drug checking services including CanTEST and VPTS. AIVL peer-led governance determines alert distribution tiers. In production, RSS feeds update every 60 minutes — subscribers (peer networks, AOD services, mental health services, PHNs) receive filtered alerts calibrated to their role and jurisdiction.

Signal Register

National signal intelligence across all jurisdictions — substances detected, statistical areas, and reasons for concern. Community-governed, peer-reported.

How signals work: Signals are generated from multiple data sources — peer reports, emergency department presentations, drug checking services, coronial data, and frontline service reports. Each signal captures the substance(s) detected, the statistical area (SA3), and the reason for concern. All jurisdictions contribute equally under AIVL's federated governance model. Signals flow through the Hub's cyclical pentagon: Individual → Community → Health → Research → Government.

Governance Architecture

Cyclical peer-led governance under AIVL stewardship — governance as architecture, not afterthought. Community governs; institutions contribute.

Hub Peer-Led Governance

The Hub's governance model is cyclical: signals flow through five dimensions (Individual → Community → Health → Research → Government) and governance flows outward from the centre through tiered access. AIVL as national peak body holds structural authority. State and territory peer organisations form the federated network.

Hub Information Sharing Tiers

Six-tier information sharing framework governing data access, disclosure, and use across the Hub network. Access is granted by community governance, not assumed by institutional affiliation. RSS feeds distribute tier-appropriate intelligence to subscribers.

National Signal Register — Peer-Led Governance Model

National governance structure for the signal register under AIVL stewardship, connecting peer networks, AOD services, mental health services, and government through clear accountability tiers. Distribution via RSS ensures every stakeholder receives filtered intelligence calibrated to their role.
