Clinically proven to demonstrate positive behaviour change

Our universally accessible drug and alcohol programs have been clinically tested with some programs having lasting positive effects into early adulthood. Their effectiveness has been established in eight large, randomised controlled trials and some earning the highest-evidence ratings from the NCETA and the Australian Government-funded Positive Choices portal.

Review Evidence
If 1.5 million Australian high school students had access to our Prevention Programs, we would have:

Fewer adolescents  binge drinking

Fewer
hospitalisations

Reduction in hazardous alcohol and drug use*

Co-designed with teachers and students, for young people

OurFutures was developed by researchers based at the Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use at the University of Sydney and co-designed with teachers, curriculum experts, and high school students. Each course is based on cognitive behaviour and social influence theory and is mapped to the Australian and state curricula, with no teacher training required.
