On 20 June, 2025 over 300 professionals, advocates and community voices came together for VAADA’s Sector Forum: From Policy to People – Centring Communities in Our Response.
Throughout the day, we heard powerful insights on public intoxication reform, alcohol policy, justice, self-determination, lived and living experience, and new treatment approaches.
Each session underscored the critical role of community in shaping effective, compassionate AOD responses.
A huge thank you to our speakers, exhibitors, attendees and the Victorian Department of Health for supporting this important event.
