INTRODUCTION In 2020, there were 41 060 adults incarcerated in Australian prisons, one in seven of whom were sentenced for an illicit drug offence [1]. Australia’s incarceration rate of 202 per 100 000 population [1] is one third of that in the United States (US) (639 per 100 000) [2] but higher than rates in England and Wales (173 per 100 000) [3] and Canada (104 per 100 000) [4, 5].
