AddictionZ 2026

AddictionZ 2026 is your national platform to come together with fellow professionals working across the Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD), mental health, and behavioural health sectors.

Our theme for 2026 — Addiction Treatment in a Changing World: Whole Person, Whole System, From Hope to Action — reflects the urgent need to deliver integrated, compassionate, and evidence-informed care in the face of rising addiction rates and emerging contemporary challenges.
