The Forum aims to identify shared national priorities to improve access, quality, consistency, and resourcing of ODTP across Australia. Through a series of facilitated discussions and consensus-building activities, participants will work toward an evidence-informed national advocacy position on ODTP reform—aligning research, policy, service delivery, and lived experience into a coherent national direction.
The Forum will culminate in the development of an advocacy statement articulating a shared national vision for ODTP reform, including priority actions for governments and key stakeholders.
Event Details
The Forum will be held at Parliament House Canberra, on Monday, 7 September, in:
- Private Dining Room: 10:00am – 2:00pm
- The Alcove: 2:00pm – 5:00pm
Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea will be provided. Please note that the Forum will be held in person only, with no option for online participation.
The program will include brief overview presentations from the pre-forum seminars, followed by facilitated discussion and structured consensus-building activities.
Pre-Forum Engagement
To support a shared understanding of key challenges and reform opportunities, a series of three webinars will be held in the lead-up to the Forum. Forum delegates are encouraged to attend one or more of these sessions. Insights from these webinars will inform a draft consensus statement to be further developed at the Forum.
While the Forum itself is by invitation only, the webinars are open to all interested stakeholders, providing an opportunity for broader sector input.
