Alcohol and pregnancy

Give your baby the best possible start and avoid the risks of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, you should not drink alcohol. If you are breastfeeding, not drinking alcohol is safest for your baby.

The Australian guidelines to reduce health risks from drinking alcohol are produced by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). The guidelines can help you to make informed choices about your consumption if you choose to drink.

DrinkWise has created a series of videos for school and community programs, to educate and build individual capacity to make informed decisions about alcohol.

Indigenous education around alcohol is an important focus for DrinkWise.  DrinkWise provides financial and in-kind support for a number of different programs and initiatives, utilising a tailored broadcast and targeted approach.
