Under the title, Building on the Capital, the conference will feature an exciting program with a focus on innovative treatment, prevention, law enforcement and policy in the areas of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
The conference will feature both Australian and international speakers. It will offer a range of presentations and workshops. As the Seat of Government, Canberra is a focus of drug policy activity, highlighting this important component of our sector.
Featuring original work from the field, conference participants are encouraged to use both traditional modes of communication such as oral and poster presentations, as well as other styles of engagement such as participatory workshops and debates/discussions, film, yarning circles and artwork.
