🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month provides an opportunity to raise awareness of breast cancer and the factors that can influence risk. Did you know that alcohol is a recognised risk factor for breast cancer? A breast screen is the best way to detect breast cancer early, and also improve treatment outcomes, so talk to your doctor to make an appointment.

👣 This October, we’re putting one foot forward for mental health.
Mental health touches every workplace, every community and many of our lives. During Mental Health Month, members of the NCETA team will be taking part in One Foot Forward, an annual challenge run by the Black Dog Institute.

Throughout October, we’ll be walking / running to help raise funds for mental health research, education and support, joining thousands of Australians in reminding people experiencing mental illness that they are not alone.

If you’d like to support our team, we’d be grateful for your contribution:

We are enjoying hearing the latest research and engaging with presentations and discussions on emerging trends, treatment and care, community engagement, and translating research into practice.

👥 Yesterday, we attended the 2026 South Australian Network Drug and Alcohol Services (SANDAS) and Embolden Symposium in Adelaide.

Bringing together the alcohol and other drugs (AOD) and domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV) sectors, the symposium provided a valuable opportunity to explore best practice, share emerging insights, and discuss approaches to strengthening collaboration across both fields.

It was great to connect with colleagues from across the AOD and DFSV sectors and engage in important conversations about service integration, holistic responses, and improving outcomes for individuals, families and communities.

Thank you to SANDAS, Embolden, presenters and attendees for facilitating these important discussions.

This week, members of the NCETA team and our Flinders colleagues were in Paris for the 2026 Annual SRNT-E Conference at Sorbonne University. The conference, hosted by the SRNT-E Society for Research on Ni****ne and To***co - Europe, brought together researchers from Europe and beyond to advance understanding of ni****ne and to***co use and reduce associated harms.

We were delighted to see Billie Bonevski, Annika Theodoulou, Nathan Harrison, Joshua Trigg and Richard Edwards share their research and contribute to important discussions with colleagues from around the world.
