03/09/2026

Together, we can continue the conversation and work towards a future where fewer lives are lost to overdose 💜

Knowing how much alcohol you’re drinking is a key preventive health strategy.

We loved having the opportunity to remind people of standard drink sizes and the recommended drinking guidelines at yesterday’s Preventive Health Showcase, to launch The Health Revolution, the government’s 20 year preventive health strategy.

Thank you Hon Bridget Archer MP, Hon Jacquie Petrusma MP and Marcus Vermey MP for testing your drink pouring skills with us.
