SUMMARY:Victorian AOD Service Providers Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:VAADA is inviting you to attend the Victorian AOD Service Providers Conference \nFriday 20 June 2025\n\n\n\n\nThe annual Victorian AOD Service Providers Conference brings together Alcohol and Other Drug Workers\, CEO’s and Managers within State Funded Services to listen to informative key-note presentations\, join break-out sessions\, share practice wisdom\, network and connect with other AOD staff and services. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Policy to People: Centring Communities in Our Response \nFor the Victorian alcohol and other drugs sector\, getting policy right is absolutely critical. From drug checking and public intoxication to bold plans and strategies\, thoughtfully designed and responsive policy can enable access\, equity\, and dignity for people affected by alcohol and other drugs—while poor policy risks deepening harm and disconnection. \nJoin us at this year’s AOD Service Providers Conference as we explore how to better align policy with the needs and voices of those it ultimately affects. Just as we work to translate policy evidence into meaningful\, person-centred practice\, we must also work in reverse – ensuring that the experiences and aspirations of people with lived and living experience are not only heard\, but are central to shaping future policy directions. \nFrom Policy to People reflects the importance of bridging the gap between public policy making and the realities faced by individuals\, families\, and communities impacted by alcohol and other drugs. The program will feature keynote speakers addressing aspects of this process\, along with breakout sessions that explore the theme in more detail and in relation to specific cohorts and contexts. \nAs always\, the conference provides a valuable opportunity to reconnect with colleagues\, share insights\, and strengthen networks across the AOD sector. \nMore details on speakers and presentations to follow. \nThis will be an in-person event. Registration is essential. \nThe Service Providers Conference is a free event for workers in the Victorian Alcohol and Other Drugs sector.\nPlease note: a ticket cancellation policy now applies; click here for more details.
