We interviewed 190 key informants to particularise the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AOD<\/jats:styled-content> treatment sector, and undertook two case examples of government funded non\u2010government organisations providing <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AOD<\/jats:styled-content> treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Funding sources include the Australian and state and territory governments, philanthropy, fund\u2010raising and clients themselves. While funding sources align with the health sector generally and the broader social services sector, the complexity of flows from source to treatment service and the number of intermediaries are noteworthy. So too are the many sources of funding drawn on by some treatment providers. Diversification is both beneficial and disadvantageous for non\u2010government treatment providers, adding to administrative workloads, but smoothing the risk of funding shortfalls. Government funders benefit from sharing risk.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion and Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Circuitous funding flows multiply the funding sources drawn on by services and put distance between the funding source and the service provider. This leads to concerns over lack of transparency about what is being purchased and challenges for the multiply funded service provider in maintaining programs and service models amid multiple and sometimes competing funding and accountability frameworks. <jats:italic>[Chalmers J, Ritter A, Berends L, Lancaster K.
