D.A. Australia Annual Convention Online and Worldwide
Welcome to the 2022 Debtors Anonymous Australian Annual Convention gathering of D.A. and B.D.A. members and fellows. Even if you’re not a member of D.A. or B.D.A, you’re also welcome to attend.
This event, regarding finance, is within a 12 Step Fellowship context. It is notably different to a typical conference style event that features popular influencers, renown public speakers or thought leaders, as all attendees remain anonymous as part of our Fellowship.
Suggested Donation AUD $7 – $27 | USD $5 – $18 | GBP £4 – £16 | Scholarship Available [no one is turned away due to lack of funds]
Debtors Anonymous offers hope for people whose use of unsecured debt causes problems and suffering in their lives and the lives of others. We come to learn that compulsive debting is a spiritual problem with a spiritual solution, and we find relief by working the debtors anonymous recovery program based on the Twelve-Step principles. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop incurring unsecured debt.
If your life is unmanageable because of debt, such as, you are sick of paying late fees, and having creditor phone calls, then Debtors Anonymous is available to offer hope. For more information regarding this community and it's resources and guidance visit > www.debtorsanonymous.org

Q. I'm in a timezone where I can't attend a session. What can I do?

We acknowledge this [Recovery] Event will not be recorded and timezones wont work for everyone, if that's so, please enjoy your sleep or something else instead.
Q. I have a question or feedback. How can I contact the convention organising committee?
A. Send an email to debtorsanonymousaustralia (at) gmail.com
By sharing our experience, strength, and
