Special Event: Rethinking Addiction in Australia
Rethink Addiction is holding its first major event on Thursday 6th May called 'Rethinking Addiction in Australia'. As a proud partner of the Rethink Addiction campaign, Turning Point is thrilled to be supporting this very exciting event.
Moderated by prominent Australian and Executive Director of Change.org, Sally Rugg, the event will be a fascinating discussion on the making of the 'Addicted Australia' documentary, the treatment program, alcohol in the bush, and what Australia needs to do next to Rethink Addiction.
Joining Sally on stage is Professor Dan Lubman AM, Executive Clinical Director at Turning Point, Jacob Hickey, Addicted Australia producer and Head of Factual at Blackfella Films, Shanna Whan, CEO of Sober in the Country, and former AFL footballer and premiership player, Dayne Beams.
The event will be held at The Edge, Federation Square from 6pm-8pm and includes canapés and drinks (no alcohol) on arrival.
Tickets are just $30 and can be purchased here.
Please show your support by purchasing a ticket and help us advocate for change to ensure those struggling with addiction receive the treatment, care and support they need.
