Who are we? Australian Doctors Australian Doctors in Recovery (ADR) is a fellowship of health professionals (doctors, dentists, vets, pharmacists and other health professionals with doctoral level qualifications) in Australia and New In Recovery Zealand who are in recovery from addiction to alcohol or other drugs. Every March we hold a nd conference for recovering doctors in Australia and New Zealand. We also warmly welcome our 22 Annual Meeting friends from USA, Canada, Hong Kong and UK who on regular basis attend our conference. Our 22nd Annual Meeting in 2017 will take place in beautiful Canberra, the National Capital of Australia. The conference will be held at the QT Hotel located close to the City centre and shores of Lake Burley Griffin. The National Capital of Australia offers a lot of attractions including Parliament House QT Hotel Canberra tours, the National Museum, National Gallery, War Memorial, Questacon-the National Science and Technology Centre and much more. For links see our website. Autumn in Canberra is beautiful and 17-19 March 2017 every morning hot air balloons take off from the lawns of Old Parliament House and a Recovery Ride on one of them is highly recommended. For those travelling to Canberra via Sydney or Melbourne we are happy to ask our friends there to organise sightseeing in these two cities. GPS makes travelling in Canberra easy but be aware of speed and red light cameras both stationary and mobile.
