Scott Wilson Director Aboriginal Drug & Alcohol Council (SA) Inc.
I’d like to acknowledge the Indigenous people past and present whose land we are on today.
Out of Sight, Out of mind: Australia’s alcohol guidelines. History of Alcohol Guidelines relevance to Indigenous Australians. What did we do.
ADAC received funds from the PM to make the Australian Standard Drinking Guidelines Indigenous appropriate. • After national consultations we produced in house thousands of different documents, such as flipcharts, pamphlets and posters only to have them sit in the National Mailing Centre.
2009 new Alcohol Guidelines to Reduce the Lifetime Health Risks from Drinking Alcohol. • Chance Meeting 2010. • 2011 we Revised the Alcohol Guidelines we developed in 2004.
2012 we developed the Phone App with new Guidelines. • Go to www.adac.org.au click on alcohol guidelines and then follow the steps to have them downloaded onto your smartphone or tablet such as ipad. • THANK YOU
