Abstract submissions now closed!

Abstract submissions are now closed for the AADANT Conference 2026 to be held on 3–4 June 2026 in Darwin.

This year’s theme, On Country, In Community: The Way We Work, explores how people, place and practice intersect to shape the future of alcohol and other drug (AOD) service delivery in the Northern Territory. The conference brings together practitioners, researchers, policymakers, peer workers and community leaders to share innovation, strengthen collaboration and discuss real-world solutions grounded in the needs and strengths of NT communities.

With a strong focus on access, equity and evidence, the program will highlight diverse voices and experiences from urban, regional and remote settings, recognising that meaningful AOD outcomes require culturally responsive, community-informed and system-aware approaches.

We received a strong response to the call for abstracts. Applicants will be contacted soon regarding the outcome of their submission.

Thank you again for your interest in contributing to the conference program.
