Risky drinking
August 8, 2011
THE Department of Health has
put $10m up for grabs for projects
to combat risky drinking amongst
young Australians.
“Around 1 in 6 people aged 14 or
older put themselves at risk of
alcohol-related injury from a single
drinking occasion at least once a
week - this is an alarming statistic”,
said the Minister for Health and
Ageing, Nicola Roxon.
Grants of up to $300,000 are
now available for individual
projects by incorporated
community groups or local govt
organisations, and up to $500,000
for proposals from partnerships.
“It is vital that our communities
find innovative ways to reduce
harmful behaviours amongst
young people, so I call on local
government and community
organisations to apply for this
funding,” Roxon added.
