BUDDYS (Building up Dual Diagnosis in Youth Services) is holding its seventh EXPO aimed at exploring the changing mental health and alcohol and other drug sectors (including NDIS) for young people.

The aim of the expo is to explore changing and updated mental health and AOD services for young people aged 12-25, including implications of the NDIS for youth and their carers.
