The ADF was founded in 1959 by Sir Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop to help the many post-war veterans suffering from alcohol dependence as an escape from the trauma of war.
Today, we continue to evolve our programs, in line with changing community needs, ensuring we are addressing the issues confronting Australia, and Australians..
We are a world-leading knowledge hub for alcohol and drug information and harm prevention, delivering impactful, evidence and place-based harm programs across Australia.
Our activities and programs directly support communities and individuals to change knowledge, attitudes and practices so that we prevent and delay alcohol and other drug use by young people and strengthen prevention and harm reduction strategies for everyone.
We also work to keep priority issues on the political and public agendas, advocating for policy reforms and maintaining a high-profile presence through the media and our strategic partnerships.
We are proudly evidence-based and independent, with a truly national footprint.
