General information only. This guide is a plain-English overview, current as at November 2026. It is not legal, compliance or professional advice. Confirm your obligations with your funder and the current official documentation.
Where this applies: Queensland (QLD).
Who collects the data?
Publicly funded alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment services in Queensland report client and treatment data to Queensland Health, which supplies it each year to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) for the national AODTS-NMDS. The Queensland Network of Alcohol and Other Drug Agencies (QNADA), the peak body for the non-government sector, has a long-standing role in collecting that sector's data.
Services funded only by the Australian Government, including through a Primary Health Network (PHN), generally report directly to the AIHW.
What is involved?
- Episode-level data. Every treatment episode has to meet the national specification.
- The right route. Where your data goes depends on who funds each program.
- Annual changes. The national specification is reviewed for each financial year, and your system has to keep up.
Where Mimaso fits
Mimaso is set up for Queensland AOD reporting. Your team records casework as usual, and Mimaso produces the return, flags missing or invalid fields as they are entered and checks the whole return before it is submitted.
Book a walkthrough to see it with your own programs.
