The Organisation was established in 1999 by Ms Sue Miers AM as a result of her personal experience caring for a child with FASD and her struggle to find information and appropriate support services in Australia.
NOFASD Australia operated on a voluntary basis lobbying for FASD to be recognized as a disability in Australia, to advocate for the rights and interests of people living with FASD , to provide information and support to individuals and families at a grassroots level and deliver education to the service provider community.
NOFASD Australia has a large network of individuals and organisations interested in FASD. NOFASD Australia is resourced to enable the expansion of activities and ensure FASD receives due recognition in both national public policy and in practice at a population-wide level.
