About the organisers

The New Zealand Drug Foundation is as an independent, non-government drug policy agency at the forefront of the drug policy debate in New Zealand. It is a solid and reputable organisation that provides sharp policy analysis and fosters inter-agency dialogue on alcohol and illicit drug policy issues.

The New Zealand Society on Alcohol and Drug Dependence (NSAD) has been intrinsically involved in the development of alcohol and drug treatment services since 1954. Today NSAD supports and advocates for greater understanding and funding for prevention and the education and treatment of those suffering from drug and alcohol dependence. It is a major supplier of treatment services with a particular focus on the delivery of treatment in justice settings.
