The Cancer Council is part of a coalition of health agencies (including VicHealth, Australian Drug Foundation and Turning Point Alcohol and Drug Centre) that share a concern about the level of alcohol misuse and its health and social consequences in the community. The impetus for the coalition is the need for a consolidated and coordinated approach and effort by key agencies in preventing and reducing the harms caused by alcohol misuse.
The coalition believes that finding a solution to the problem of alcohol misuse requires a collective approach from governments, the community, individuals, and the alcohol industry to all play a part. The coalition's long-term goal is to promote safer drinking cultures in the community.
