Active Community Explorer
A new online space for communities across Australia to access information, tools, and ideas that can be implemented locally to reduce the harm of alcohol and other drugs.
The Harms
Did you know that the harms caused by alcohol and other drugs in Australia account for:
-
4,186+ deaths per year
-
$23.5b combined economic cost
For over 60 years, we have worked to inspire positive change and deliver evidence-based approaches to minimise alcohol and drug harm.
We do this because we are working towards an Australia where lives are unlimited by alcohol and drug harm.
