Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education

The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) is the leading not-for-profit organisation working towards an Australia free from alcohol harm.

Australians are impacted by alcohol harm every day, including through injury, violence, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), mental health and chronic diseases such as cancer. Far too many Australians die each year because of alcohol. In addition, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are disproportionately impacted by alcohol harm.

FARE’s key activity areas are:
– Evidence-informed policy: We shape, drive and support the development of evidence-informed policy and programs that contribute to an Australia free from alcohol harms.
– People-powered advocacy: We engage in advocacy that elevates the voices of people with lived experience and values-aligned organisations.
– Health promotion programs: We develop and deliver programs to engage Australians in a conversation about alcohol harms and the health and wellbeing benefits of reducing drinking.

Our work is guided by the core values of collaboration, empathy, courage and a relentless drive for impact. We collaborate with local communities, values-aligned organisations, health professionals and researchers, to improve the health and wellbeing of everyone in Australia.

FARE has a rich history of more than two decades of impactful work, ranging from ground breaking research on alcohol harm reduction within Australia and internationally to raising awareness about the risks of alcohol consumption during pregnancy to holding powerful corporations accountable for their harmful actions. We are committed to driving positive change, knowing that together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for Australia.
