FARE conducts regular nation-wide polling to determine community attitudes and behaviours relating to alcohol.
We see polling as an important way to track community attitudes on a range of issues. This assists with determining our priorities and informing governments of community opinions on varied policy options.
While the specific purpose of the poll varies from year to year depending on our specific alcohol policy objectives, some key objectives have remained consistent throughout. These include:
Determining community attitudes towards alcohol in Australia
Gaining an understanding of self-reported alcohol consumption patterns in Australia
Determining current perspectives on various alcohol-related policies.
We welcome your thoughts on information you’d like to find out about regarding Australians drinking habits and their attitudes and opinions towards alcohol.
