The WANADA team chose to meet in the grounds of WA Parliament House today – Human Rights Day - to reflect on the value of human rights for all people, the potential of a Human Rights Act for Western Australia, and how protecting human rights can improve health and wellbeing.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day to come together in support of people living with, or affected by, HIV/AIDS.

WANADA acknowledges the vital work of members such as WAAC, in delivering health and community services for people affected by or at risk of HIV, STIs and blood-borne viruses across WA.

WANADA has relocated to a new office this week and we're ready to continue our work driving positive change across the alcohol and other drug sector in WA. Our phone number and PO Box have changed, but all email addresses remain the same. We are now back to business as usual.
