VAADA is the peak body representing publicly-funded AOD services in Victoria.

We work to prevent and reduce AODrelated harms in the Victorian community by ensuring the people experiencing those harms, and the organisations that support them, are well-represented in policy, program development and public discussion.

We do this by

Engaging in policy development
Advocating for systemic change
Representing issues identified by our members
Providing leadership on priority issues
Creating a space for collaboration within the AOD sector
Maximizing opportunities to build the capacity and capability of the sector
Keeping our members and stakeholders informed about issues relevant to the sector and
Supporting evidence-based practice that reduces AOD related harms and maintains the dignity of those who use AOD (and related) services.
