Welcome to rffada
The Russell Family Fetal Alcohol Disorders Association (rffada) is a national not-for-profit health promotion charity dedicated to ensuring that individuals affected prenatally by alcohol have access to diagnostic services, support and multidisciplinary management planning in Australia and that carers and parents are supported with a “no blame no shame” ethos.
On this site you will find a range of support resources and information relating to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder, or FASD.
The Russell Family Fetal Alcohol Disorders Association (rffada) Strategic Plan is based on four key priorities.
- Prevention
- Support
- Training and Education
- Research and Projects
Recent statistics that horrified us
If you are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant over the holiday season, dont drink. The consequences could be far more than you could ever imagine.
For a healthy baby, no alcohol while pregnant is safest!
If there is information on FASD which is not on this website please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . I will source and upload the information that you require. If you need it then others will too.
Information on this site from volunteers of the rffada is based on experience and is not made by medical personnel unless stated as such. Additionally,we advise that the information contained in ths site is designed to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between a patient/site visitor and his/her existing health care professional/s.

Thank you FARE!
The rffada would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education, without them this website would not have been possible:
They have supported the rffada in its work with FASD for the last five years in one way or another but providing the resources to update our website has been most welcome and very timely. I would particularly like to thank the people from FARE individually for their contribution to the rffada and to FASD in Australia. They are kind and generous people:
Michael, Jo, Sarah, Rosemary, Jim, Cat, Glenis, Sarah, Jeremy and Rebecca. To those staff we havent met, thank you also.
