Living and lived experience speakers guide
Living and lived experience (LLE) representatives play a vital role in sharing firsthand accounts of using or having used AOD and their experiences in accessing health, community and AOD treatment services. They tell stories of experience and strength, and this advocacy enhances community knowledge, challenges stigma, and contributes to improved service delivery. As the AOD sector spotlights the value of LLE and the peer workforce, LLE representatives are increasingly being called upon to speak at network events, in the media, planning, and policy meetings.
This guide is aimed at LLE representatives and event organisers. It provides recommendations and points for consideration to ensure that these engagements are empowering and meaningful and that the conditions around engagement are supported, organised, and considered.

We want to thank all LLE representatives for their valuable contribution to this impactful advocacy by sharing their stories and expertise and the NADA Consumer Advisory group for their contribution and consultation in developing this guide.
