Thank you to everyone who attended APSAD 2025. A special thank you goes to our committee, reviewers, speakers, sponsors and supporters.
You can view the program including PowerPoint presentations here. Keynote recordings will become available 3-months post conference.
The aim of the conference was to disrupt the status quo and deconstruct long-held assumptions that have shaped drug policy, research, and practice as well as elevate First Nations ways of knowing, being and doing and challenge delegates to reflect critically on the way we do AOD prevention, treatment, research and policy. We hope you walked away with new connections, were empowered by the conference and we hope to see you in Walyalup (Fremantle) in 2026.
Thank you to our 2025 Conference Convenors
Thank you to our Platinum Sponsor
