Abstract
The Aboriginal Peak Organisations Northern Territory (APO NT) have committed to working together to help address the ongoing and devastating impact of alcohol misuse and related harm in the NT. In November 2012 APO NT held a ‘grog summit’ in Darwin to discuss alcohol issues in the NT. Following that event APO NT committed to holding another grog summit in Central Australia. The Central Australian Alcohol Summit was held on 30–31 July 2013 in Alice Springs and involved more than 100 participants. This report details the discussion and the areas which Summit participants decided were priorities.,
Notes

It aims to provide an effective response to issues of joint interest and concern that affect Aboriginal people in the NT, including through advocating practical policy solutions to government.,
