Every September, we create a sea of red across our cities and our social media feeds to raise awareness and start conversations about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
FASD is Australia’s leading preventable developmental disability. It’s a lifelong disability caused by prenatal alcohol exposure.
To mark FASD Awareness Day on 9 September more than 60 landmarks will go red, from Federation Square in Melbourne to the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour, the Bell Tower in Perth, and Questacon in Canberra.
Find all the locations on the list below. Don’t forget to take a photo and share it with us, or on your social media!
