DASA staff were fortunate enough to attend the 2025 ATCA Conference E Tū Kahikatea – Standing Strong: Navigating Change & Building Resilience in Tamaki Makaurau, Aotearoa (Auckland, New Zealand) from 25-27 November.
During their trip, staff had the pleasure of visiting the Ngā Pou Tohutohu Auckland South Drug Treatment Program at Auckland South Corrections Facility, Orakei Marae, Auckland City Mission, Wings Trust Manu Wairua, Higher Ground Papa Taumata & Odyssey Auckland.

CEO Eloise Cole said, “what a powerful experience we had with the Māori and Pasifika peoples along with the Pakeha New Zealanders for so generously sharing their culture and ways of working in the AOD sector with us.”

To top off a great experience, the Aboriginal Outreach team were the recipients of the First Nations Award, celebrating the work and innovation in indigenous programs. Congratulations and great work to Brian, Michelle and Cleavon!

DASA would like to extend their sincerest thanks and gratitude to all teams involved who made this conference the absolute success it was. You are appreciated!

DASA is proud to work alongside the Anindilyakwa People to continue developing the DASA Anindilyakwa Healing Centre as an alternative to prison that works to reduce re-offending.

As the NT's prison population soars to new highs, Anindilyakwa elders on Groote Eylandt are delivering a unique rehabilitation program that provides participants with physical and psycho-educational programs, as well as new skills and employment opportunities.

Meet the DASA team on Groote Eylandt! This bunch run the Anindilyakwa Healing Centre & this week we took a day out of the action for our Inaugural Annual Team Building Day for the DASA Eylandt Team.

On Tuesday this week we held our first Annual Team Building Day for the staff at the Anindilyakwa Healing Centre. It was a great opportunity for the team to take some time to reflect, learn and relax together.
