Policy and advocacy: We are focused on addressing critical AOD sector funding and contracting, workforce, service access, and reducing drug stigma.

Learn online: Enhance your core AOD knowledge and skills, engage families and significant others, and be guided on gender and sexuality indicators.

Advocate: When is it time to change? We explore change management, examine psychedelic-assisted therapy, and hear how sector workers navigate change.

The Network of Alcohol and other Drugs Agencies (NADA) is the peak body for non-government alcohol and other drugs (AOD) services in NSW. We represent 93 organisational members operating in over 150 locations across NSW. Our members bring AOD expertise, use community connections to support whole-of-person wellbeing, and adapt to changing needs. They provide a broad range of AOD services, including health promotion, harm reduction, early intervention, and treatment—counselling, case management, day programs, residential and continuing care. Together, we improve the health and wellbeing of the NSW community. Learn more.
