About this feed: Drug alerts are sourced from the Prompt Response Network (PRN) via The Know, state and territory health departments, and drug checking services including CanTEST and VPTS. In production, this feed would update every 60 minutes via RSS integration.

Signal Register

NSW-dominated signal intelligence with national coverage — substances detected, statistical areas, and reasons for concern

How signals work: Signals are generated from multiple data sources — 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. NSW signals are prioritised as the primary jurisdiction, with national signals providing cross-border context.

Governance Architecture

NADAbase data governance alongside a national five-tier model — governance as architecture, not afterthought

NADAbase Data Governance

Current NADAbase role-based access and data governance structure — Privacy Act 1988, HRIP Act 2002, SLK-581 de-identification, and tiered information sharing.

NADAbase Information Sharing

Five-tier information sharing framework governing data access, disclosure, and use across the NADAbase network.

National Signal Register — Five-Tier Governance Model

Proposed national governance structure for the signal register, connecting jurisdictional health systems, frontline services, and the public through clear accountability tiers.
