Australian Drug Foundation

The Australian Drug Foundation (ADF) is an independent non-profit organisation which aims to prevent and reduce alcohol and drug problems in the Australian community.

The core ADF purpose is to prevent drug problems and reduce drug-related harms; and to help people remain safe if, when, and while they use drugs.

The work of the ADF is divided into several Key Program Areas to help us deliver information, undertake community development, research priority issues and advocate for change.
