Company Information

FDS is a not-for-profit charity supporting families affected by alcohol and drug use. Our mission is to assist families throughout Australia to deal with alcohol and other drugs issues in a way that strengthens relationships and achieves positive outcomes. We provide a national support line, family support groups, information and education sessions, and our flagship program Stepping Stones, along with services both online and face-to-face. We are a volunteer led organisation with over 120 volunteers across Australia. 

Our organisation started after our CEO, Tony, lost his son to a heroin overdose in 1997.  As an organisation, we do not condemn nor condone substance use. Our model is informed by expertise and the evidence of what works and doesn’t work. We also recognise that sometimes, while abstinence may be the best form of harm reduction, it’s unrealistic to expect many people with a dependency to ‘just say no’ or immediately cease their use. We believe all people deserve access to universal health care, regardless of their substance use preference. This includes tailored initiatives such as needle and syringe programs, safe injecting facilities and drug checking services.

FDS is proud to be an EEO employer. FDS supports an inclusive approach in the workplace. We are committed to supporting diversity in our workplace culture and we embrace diversity and inclusion.
