This September: Everyone Plays a Part
It takes a community to raise awareness of FASD.
FASD Awareness Month 2026 is an opportunity for individuals, families, workplaces, organisations and communities across Australia to come together to raise awareness and understanding of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
This September NOFASD Australia is joining with our colleagues at CanFASD in Canada to celebrate FASD Awareness Month under the shared theme “Everyone plays a part: it takes a community”.
The theme acknowledges that we can all make a difference – whether our contribution is large or small. Every touchpoint, every conversation, every time accurate information is shared about FASD (either in person or online) awareness and understanding of this lifelong disability will increase and those impacted by FASD will feel less alone.

Order a Free Resource Kit
Support your event or information display with free FASD awareness resources. Order your resource kit from NOFASD by Friday 21st August and let us know about your event so we can include it on our online calendar noting whether the activity is open to the public or is a private event.
Use Our Social Media Toolkit
Help spread awareness throughout September by sharing ready-made content across your social media channels.
See a Landmark Light Up Red
More than 50 landmarks across Australia have already committed to lighting up red for FASD Awareness Day on 9th September, and more will be added in the coming weeks. Visit a landmark near you, take a photo and share it on social media using #FASDAwareness and #RedShoesRock.
