We want you.jpg

NCETA is an internationally recognised research centre that works as a catalyst for change in the AOD field. A key priority area of the Centre is AOD workforce development. NCETA is seeking two new members to join its AOD Workforce Reference Group (the Reference Group, established 2023). The Reference Group includes specialist workers whose role focuses on AOD as well as generalist workers with a role in addressing AOD harms. We are particularly interested in hearing from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and those with lived-living experience of AOD.

Members of the Reference Group will have an opportunity to be updated about the progress of NCETA’s AOD workforce research, and inform NCETA’s resource development and research priorities. Specifically, we are seeking individuals who would like to:

  • Provide input on various projects to ensure they meet the needs of the sector including input into how new projects are designed and implemented
  • Review existing resources provided by NCETA to ensure relevance for the sector and advise whether updating them should be a strategic priority
  • Provide input into any gaps in resources provided by NCETA for the sector including input into the development of new or revised workforce resources based on research findings
  • Encourage the involvement of the AOD sector in NCETA projects 
  • Assist in disseminating research findings and resources across the AOD workforce.

 

The Reference Group meets online twice per year. Membership is voluntary and members are acknowledged at NCETA’s webpage: https://nceta.flinders.edu.au/about-us/our-team

To express your interest, please complete the Expression of Interest form by Friday 31 October, 2025 by telling us a little about your involvement in the AOD workforce and your interest in joining the group.
