Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System (EDRS)

The Ecstasy and Related Drugs Reporting System (EDRS) is an illicit drug monitoring system which has been conducted in all states and territories of Australia since 2003 and forms part of Drug Trends. 

The EDRS consists of annual interviews across all Australian jurisdictions with people who regularly use ecstasy and other stimulant drugs, as well as analysis and examination of indicator data sources related to illicit drugs. 

In 2019, NDARC has provided a suite of products with the most up-to-date findings from interviews conducted annually from 2000-2019.

This includes: 

  1. A report overviewing the key findings in 2018
  2. An infographic  summarising key findings in 2018
  3. A PowerPoint slide deck comprising key figures that display trends of interest
  4. Supplementary data tables, providing detailed findings underlying the tables and figures within the report
