The Network of Alcohol and other Drugs Agencies (NADA) is the peak organisation for non-government alcohol and other drugs (AOD) services in NSW. We represent 85 organisational members that provide services in over 100 locations across NSW. They provide a broad range of AOD services, including health promotion and harm reduction, early intervention, treatment and continuing care programs. Together, we improve the health and wellbeing of people with living and lived experience of alcohol or other drug use across the NSW community. Learn more.
