Wastewater analysis gives insight into drug consumption

Clinton Maynard

Luke is joined by Shane Neilson, Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) principal drugs advisor, about the latest analysis released today from the National Wastewater Drug Monitoring Program, that provides crucial information and intelligence on drug markets and serious and organised criminal activity to support government in creating a safer Australia.

The report finds more than 14 tonnes of methylamphetamine, cocaine, MDMA and heroin was consumed in Year 6 of the Program to August 2022, with an estimated street value of $10 billion.

While this represents a 10% reduction in total consumption from Year 5 (2020–21), there were increases in national methylamphetamine and heroin consumption from
Year 5 to Year 6 of the Program.
