The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) Illicit Drug Data Report 2014–15 provides an overview of the Australian illicit drug market.

Established on 1 July 2016 ACIC comprises a merging of the Australian Crime Commission and CrimTrac.

  • the number of national illicit drug seizures has increased 91.7%
