Kevin Street wins NADA Award

Kevin Street, member of the Fair Treatment Reference Group and drug law reform advocate, attended the Network of Alcohol and Drugs Agencies Conference on the 11-12 May.

At the AOD Awards for the Non-Government Sector, Kevin received the award for Outstanding Contribution in Peer Work and Consumer Representation. This award celebrates the outstanding contribution by a person with living/lived experience in a consumer representative or peer worker role in a non-government alcohol and other drug service in NSW.

We would like to congratulate Kevin on his award, and his tireless advocacy for people experiencing drug dependency.

Kevin presented the opening keynote speech at the event, setting the scene for the conference theme of ‘creating safe spaces’. You can see Kevin’s keynote speech below.
