Get organised

You want to do something about alcohol in your community but you're not sure where to start? We can help you get organised and ensure your efforts are effective.

  • What works?

    No one approach will work for all communities. It is helpful though to get an idea of what is known to be particularly effective so that communities can draw on this expertise when making their plans.

  • Get started

    Start is by talking to the right people and gathering the right information to help you make decisions on the best ways to make change in your community. 

  • Run a local promotion

    Running promotions at local events can support a change in the drinking culture in your community. Find links to promotion examples and resources. 

  • Run an alcohol-free event

    Thinking of running an event for young people, by young people, or an all-ages community event. Make it a Good Vibes event, which is fun and alcohol-free. Check out the Good Vibes event guide and videos to find out how.
