The Alcohol and Drug Foundation was established in 1959 to support the many post-war veterans who became dependent on alcohol as a way of coping with the trauma of war. An empathetic and humane approach has always been central to their work. From modest beginnings, the ADF continues to evolve. Trauma continues to be a major factor for individuals and communities who find themselves facing the challenge of alcohol and other drug use. To help overcome this, they are focussing on building safe, healthy, and resilient communities. They are proudly evidence-based, independent and funded by state and federal governments. They bring expert knowledge and research into the design and implementation of their programs. Their ongoing work aligns with the Australian National Drug Strategy that declares “efforts to promote social inclusion and resilient individuals, families and communities” are a key objective within the demand reduction pillar. The ADF reach millions of Australians through sporting clubs, educational institutions and communities, by supporting and informing drug and alcohol prevention programs, and through the provision of educational information.
