Bursaries Available/Registrations Open - Aboriginal Alcohol and other Drug Workers Forum 2026
A second round of bursaries is now open to support regional WA workers from not‑for‑profit organisations to attend the Aboriginal Alcohol and Other Drug Workers Forum 2026: Community First. These bursaries are offered on a rolling basis. Registrations for the Forum, to be held 29–30 October at the Pan Pacific in Boorloo / Perth, are open until Wednesday 14 October 2026.
The bursaries help to cover the travel and accommodation costs. The forum is free to attend for Aboriginal alcohol and other drug workers. Aboriginal community members and elders from WA’s regions who are working to reduce alcohol and other drug related harm may also access bursaries with the support of a local not-for-profit organisation.
WANADA encourages workers and community members to apply so voices from across WA are well represented.
The Forum bursaries are proudly supported by Lotterywest.
For more information on bursary applications and registration, please visit Aboriginal Alcohol and Other Drug Workers Forum 2026: Community First.
