Brief description

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of distinct clients to alcohol and other drug treatment services (AODTS) by treatment delivery setting. The AODTS data is based on data reported to the AODTS National Minimum Dataset (NMDS). The data spans the financial year of 2016-2017 and is aggregated to 2015 Department of Health Primary Health Network (PHN) areas, based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

The AODTS data accompanies the [Alcohol and other drug treatment services in Australia 2016-17 Report](https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/alcohol-other-drug-treatment-services/aodts-2016-17/contents/table-of-contents).

Clients with an invalid postcode were assigned to the PHN group 'PHN Unallocated' and removed from the analysis.
