Addiction Leadership Day Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland evaluation report 2025

Addiction Leadership Days are held annually in three locations: Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, and Ōtautahi Christchurch. These events are organised by the National Committee of Addiction Treatment (NCAT) and supported by Te Pou. They serve as a crucial platform for sector leaders and decision-makers to gather, strengthen professional networks, share updates and research, and enhance leadership development within the addiction workforce.

This report, prepared by Te Pou, presents the key evaluation findings from the Addiction Leadership Day hosted in Tāmaki Makaurau on 31 July 2025. The evaluation is based on post-event survey responses and aims to inform and guide the planning of future Addiction Leadership Day events.

The day featured an opening address by Te Pou and Blueprint for Learning CEO, Riana Manuel, an update from Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora, a session on how to effectively use AI in services, as well as informative updates from various organisations.
