ALCOHOL CHANGE AUSTRALIA

We are a group of health and community organisations from across Australia working together to improve the health and wellbeing of Australian individuals, families, and communities.

 

We work to prevent and reduce the harms caused by alcoholic products in Australia.

ACTION IS NEEDED

Everyone should be able to live, work, and raise children in communities that are safe and free from harm. However, this opportunity is not afforded to many Australians who experience harms caused by alcohol.

 

Every day, alcohol products are responsible for 15 deaths and over 390 hospitalisations in Australia.

 

Alcohol takes a significant toll on our communities, fuelling violence, injuries, and deaths. The more alcohol that is sold, the more people in our communities experience harm.
