Alcohol remains the leading risk factor for injury in Australia, contributing to 14 per cent of the total injury burden through impacts on coordination, alertness and decision-making.
The forum will explore the link between alcohol and injury, best-practice harm minimisation approaches, alcohol licensing, and key Western Australian initiatives supporting alcohol harm reduction.
The program includes presentations from the National Drug Research Institute and Cancer Council WA, alongside case studies from Strong Spirit Strong Mind and other organisations.
