The Harm Reduction International Conference, which is convened in a different city every two years, attracts over 1,000 international delegates and has been held in almost every region of the world. HR23 takes place in Melbourne, Australia, on 16-19 April 2023.

Returning to Australia for the first time in 19 years, the conference will be a unique opportunity showcase Melbourne’s incredible harm reduction programmes and the people who have made them possible, and also to push for further progress not just for the country, but for the region as a whole.

The conference theme, Strength in Solidarity, will underpin all HR23 activities and highlight the importance of our strength – as people, as a community, as a global movement – in sticking together.
