In NSW, too many people are being funnelled into the court system for personal drug use, instead of being offered support.
The Early Drug Diversion Initiative (EDDI) was meant to help change that by giving police a way to divert people away from court and toward a health response. But right now, the scheme is too limited and too inconsistent.
Many people who could benefit from diversion are still missing out because of strict eligibility rules, the two-strike limit, and poor implementation of the scheme.
To keep the people we love safe, this needs to change.
