The (short) formal meeting starts at 18:00, but at 18:30 there will be a guest speaker, Greg Denham, the Melbourne representative of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition), and Law Enforcement and Harm Reduction Training and Advocacy Consultant.

LEAP Australia will also advocate for evidence-informed and cost-effective policies and practices that seek to reduce the risks and harms from drug use.
