As a research institute who strives to conduct high quality research that supports evidence informed alcohol and other drug policy, strategies and practice, it is crucial for NDRI to work with a range of partners to meet common goals.

This ensures the Institute asks research questions relevant to the real world and maximises the likelihood that results and recommendations can be translated into policy and practice.

In showcasing NDRI’s research, the 2021 NDRI Symposium will highlight the depth and breadth of these partnerships with, for example: communities and people affected by drug use and associated harms; clinicians, educators and public health practitioners; the government and community sector; and researchers across Australia and internationally.

The 2021 NDRI Symposium, ‘Working Together: Community Collaboration in Drug Policy and Practice Research’ will be held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre on Wednesday 6 October, 2021.

It will follow a hybrid format, providing for face-to-face or virtual attendance, and the WA Alcohol & Other Drugs Conference will follow on 7-8 October. A discount will be available to attend both events.
