Framing drug policy reform: Third-sector advocacy and the 2024 New South Wales Drug Summit

The majority of third-sector organisations advanced cohesive, rights-based, and harm-reduction-oriented frames, including strong support for legal reform. In contrast, the report framed drug policy reform primarily through service-level and harm-reduction recommendations, while more politically contentious proposals-particularly decriminalisation and prison-based harm reduction-were less visible or absent. Our findings illustrate how frame-tracking can help clarify patterns of alignment and divergence between stakeholder advocacy and agenda-setting outputs in invited participatory forums.
