Events

NADA delivers professional development opportunities for people who work in the NSW non-government AOD sector, and increasingly, people working alongside them. In doing so, people accessing AOD services receive high-quality care from competent and collaborative workers.

Training formats include the NADA learning portal, forums, workshops and a biannual conference.

NADA members can attend training free of charge unless otherwise specified. Regional and rural members may be eligible for travel and accommodation support. For more information, check the specific event details.
