The APSAD 2025 Conference Program is developed by the Scientific Advisory Committee—comprised of APSAD members working across the alcohol and other drugs sector, including clinicians, nurses, researchers, and other professionals—in close collaboration with the First Nations Leadership Group. The Leadership Group includes Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Māori and Pasifika researchers, peers, and allied health professionals, ensuring that Indigenous perspectives and priorities are meaningfully embedded throughout the program. There are many other First Nations leaders who will continue to contribute to APSAD 2025 and we welcome the input of others. Please reach out to the conference secretariat at apsadconference(at)ashm.org.au to express interest.
