HOW WE HELP

Through our subsidiary Drug ARM, we help people, families and communities impacted by alcohol and other drugs to achieve positive transformation.

POSITIVE TRANSFORMATION

The Drug Awareness and Relief Foundation (Australia) aims to address the physical, psychosocial and societal harms caused by alcohol and other drug use and mental illness. Our organisation provides relief related to these issues in coordination with Drug ARM.

Through Drug ARM, we provide street outreach services that assist young people, and other people, experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness.
