Australian Winter School aims to showcase best practice and models of treatment, emerging issues and developments in the treatment of alcohol and other drug related problems. It also explores key themes of evidence-based practice and services, diversity in service planning, accountability, evaluation and innovation in practice.

Winter School achieves these aims by drawing together keynote speakers, presentations, workshops and ideas to provide delegates with the tips, tools and solutions to:

• establish evidence-based practice
  

• examine key components of successful and effective alcohol and other drugs treatment, programs and services
  

• develop an understanding of the importance of innovation, best practice and continuous improvement
  

• analyse the best ways to influence policy, the role of research and evaluation, and how best to engage in strategic dialogue and advocacy.

The full program will be available on the website when it is released.
