We will gather at the St Kilda Town Hall to mark the 25th anniversary of International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD).

Under this year’s theme, ’25 Years On. Still Needed’ we’ll reflect on the progress made over the past 25 years, the challenges that remain, and what more we can do to prevent overdose and reduce its impact on individuals, families and communities.

The program includes a panel discussion, remembrance service and light lunch, providing time to connect, reflect and remember together:

10:00am Welcome to Country

10:10am The Hon. Ingrid Stitt, Minister for Health

10.30am Expert panel discussion (25 years on)

11.40am Reflection

12:30pm Light lunch
