ABOUT FARE

FARE is a not-for-profit organisation striving for an Australia free from alcohol harm. Together with values-aligned organisations, health professionals, researchers and communities across the country, we develop evidence-informed policy, enable people-powered advocacy and deliver health promotion programs.

We believe that by working together we can create change to improve our collective health and wellbeing. FARE has a new leadership team, renewed energy and a refreshed strategic focus on how to improve health outcomes for all Australians.

If you want to be part of a team that is developing and delivering innovative policy solutions and health promotion programs that reduce alcohol harm — and work with an organisation that supports effected communities and people with lived experience to find their voice in public policy advocacy — this job is for you.
