Bursaries Now Available – WA Alcohol and Other Drug Conference 2025

Thanks to Lotterywest, WANADA is pleased to offer bursaries to assist consumers and regional non-government alcohol and other drug sector workers to attend the WA Alcohol and Other Drug Conference 2025 – Pathways, Systems, Strategies.

Bursaries are available for:

• Metropolitan consumers (including family/significant others) – This bursary provides three-day conference registration for consumers living in metropolitan Perth.
• Non-metropolitan consumers (including family/significant others) – This bursary provides three-day conference registration, full cost of travel, and up to three nights’ accommodation for consumers (including family members and significant others) living in regional, rural, and remote areas of Western Australia.
• Regional, rural, and remote non-government AOD sector workers – This bursary provides a contribution toward travel and accommodation for non-government alcohol and other drug sector workers living in regional, rural, and remote areas of Western Australia.

Bursaries are only available for full three-day registration. It is expected that bursary recipients will attend the full three-day conference unless travel arrangements or an emergency prevent them from doing so.

Applicants working in the alcohol and other drug sector, including volunteers, must have line manager approval before applying.

Applications close 5pm, Tuesday 11 February 2025, with notifications sent by Friday 14 February 2025. Consumer bursaries may close earlier if all 58 available are allocated.
