The symposium catered to a diverse range of professionals working in government and non government drug treatment agencies; tertiary and research settings; justice; diversion and law enforcement; education; health; mental health; youth; Indigenous; culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD); child protection and welfare; new researchers and graduates and individuals; and agencies representing drug consumers.
The symposium brought together a variety of speakers to present evidence based research in treatment, policy, prevention, harm reduction and law enforcement strategies. The event provided numerous opportunities for professional networking, collaboration, discussion and debate around "working out what works" in responding to alcohol and other drug-related harm across a diversity of settings.
The symposium Working Out What Works: 16th Western Australian Drug and Alcohol Symposium was held in Perth, Western Australia, 18-19 September 2007. The symposium was sponsored by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, Reckitt Benckiser and St John of God Healthcare. Collaborations included the W.A. Drug and Alcohol Office, the National Drug Research Institute, Murdoch University, Curtin University of Technology, University of Western Australia, Edith Cowan University and the Western Australian Network for Alcohol and Drug Agencies (WANADA). The symposium had a focus on clinical research, policy and practice and drug regulations and practice and while not Indigenous specific, many presentations focussed on Indigenous issues.
