AADANT has partnered with Sand Palm Consulting to review the existing AOD Case Management Toolkit and develop a new AOD Workforce Handbook. This project aims to ensure that the resource remains relevant, practical, evidence-based, trauma-informed, culturally responsive and tailored to the Northern Territory context. We’re seeking input from AADANT members to help us understand how the current Toolkit is being used, its usefulness and how it can be strengthened to better support our AOD workforce. Have Your Say: Please take a few minutes to complete our short survey and help shape the next version of this important resource: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/89DMMSK You can access the current AOD Case Management Toolkit through the AADANT Member Portal or by downloading the file below.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the AADANT Conference 2025 - the leading event for the NT Alcohol and Other Drugs sector. This year’s conference was a great success, bringing together passionate professionals, inspiring speakers and dedicated community leaders from across the Northern Territory and beyond.


Across two days, participants took part in insightful keynote presentations, engaging workshops and meaningful conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing our sector. The George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens provided a beautiful and culturally significant setting for connection, reflection and growth.


We’re proud to share highlights from the event, including conference photos and videos from our couch sessions.


AADANT extends our heartfelt thanks to all presenters, stallholders and attendees for being part of such a valuable gathering. We also sincerely thank our sponsors for their generous support in making this event possible.


Congratulations to the recipients of the 2025 AADANT Excellence Awards. Your dedication, leadership and impact continue to inspire and strengthen our sector.
