As a result of the mid-term review of the 2001-08 national drugs strategy, action 32 of the implementation plan was amended to call for the extension of the support services provided to local drugs task force schools through the Walk Tall support service to other areas of disadvantage. On foot of this recommendation, the Walk Tall support service recently made a formal submission to the Department of Education and Science. The submission is being considered.
