The Anex 09 Australian Drugs Conference - Drugs in Hard Times, held on 1 and 2 October 2009 was attended by more than 350 delegates from across the country. The conference has been declared a success by delegates and speakers alike.

“Thanks for an inspiring two days - I've already spoken with my team about how our service can improve in some of these areas…Overall the best conference I've been too.”

“The whole conference was excellent and extremely well organised by Anex! Made some great contacts and met such dedicated workers – thankyou”

The conference program presented 51 speakers over the course of 16 sessions, covering a variety of topics pertaining to the relationship between social, physical and financial vulnerability and drug use. The majority of presenters have provided their presentations for your reference.

An overwhelming majority of conference delegates have told us that they feel that the conference has helped to increase their knowledge and understanding. The vast majority also agreed that as a result of the conference they are more aware of opportunities to work with others who do similar or aligned work to better respond to the challenges arising from drug use, disadvantage and personal vulnerability.
