Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF)

Australia’s leading organisation committed to inspiring positive change and delivering evidence-based approaches to minimise alcohol and drug harm. 

The Alcohol and Drug Foundation - Alcohol and Drug Foundation

We design and deliver a range of community programs, services and resources targeted at minimising alcohol and other drug-related harm. We know that healthy and resilient communities are the best way to minimise substance use problems.

Our programs work to minimise harm in specific environments, changing practices, knowledge and attitudes to create safer places for people to live, work and play.

We are proudly independent and co-design our evidence-based programs together with communities; supporting them to build local capacity to create change. 

Are you part of a Good Sports club?

Good Sports supports over 12,000 Australian community sporting clubs to reduce harms from alcohol and other drugs – fostering a healthier, safer and more family-friendly environment for all. The program will strengthen your club policies and practices around alcohol consumption, sales and management, illegal drug use, safe transport, safe celebrations and mental health support.
