FARE drives the development of evidence-informed policies designed to contribute to an Australia free from alcohol harm. We want decision-makers to implement programs and measures that prioritise the health and wellbeing of all Australians.
We work collaboratively with organisations, government agencies, and community advocates on the following policy areas:
Everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of using digital technologies to work, learn and play. This can happen when we have safe digital environments that support people’s health and wellbeing. However, when it comes to harmful and addictive products like alcohol, social media platforms have designed marketing systems geared toward creating harm.
Currently, people are tracked, profiled and targeted with advertising for harmful and addictive products, such as alcohol, gambling, e-cigarettes and unhealthy food, when they are online. The wellbeing and safety of Australians must be prioritised over commercial profits from online platforms’ harmful advertising practices.
The justice system needs to be unequivocal and consistent in how it deals with alcohol use to help prevent sexual assault and ensure that justice is served for survivors. Reforming justice responses to sexual violence will directly support victim survivors.

New polling shows attitudes towards the online sale and delivery of alcohol in the ACT, as the territory government considers changes to legislation.
A network of Victorians with experience of alcohol harm share their experience and expertise in a new report to inform policy change.
In 2022, 1,742 people in Australia died of an alcohol-induced death, such as chronic conditions like liver cirrhosis or acute conditions such as alcohol poisoning. Alcohol-induced deaths were recorded at a rate of 6 deaths for every 100,000 people living in Australia – the highest rate reported in 10 years.
