ACA agrees that it's time that political donation laws are reformed to exclude donations from the alcohol industry.
It's time for public policy to be set free of the influence of harmful industries.
It's time for the health and wellbeing of Australians to be prioritised.

There’s no healthy option when it comes to alcohol, no matter how low in sugar or carbs.

Alcohol is a Class 1 carcinogen that causes 3,500 new cancer cases in Australia every year.

Industry must not be allowed to use claims that distract from the harms.

Alcohol companies are increasingly using sugar and carb claims on products targeting young Australians.

Our research shows such claims create a false perception that there are healthy alcohol choices.

[Alcohol Change Australia @AlcoholChangeAU]

New research today from @georgeinstitute found consumers are up to 3x more likely to think alcohol products with sugar or carb related claims are ‘healthy’ compared to those without. We urge @FSANZnews to prohibit both sugar & carb claims on alcohol. https://t.co/VbaT54WKjV

Under the the new Australian Aged Care Act, it is now a requirement for all residential aged care providers to have their menus and mealtime experiences reviewed by an accredited practising #dietitian, minimum once a year. What a victory for the #nutrition rights of #olderpeople!

New research on Australian mandatory pregnancy health warnings on alcohol products found 63% of products display the warning, with few displaying the warning on front-of-packs (0.3%). Spirit and wine producers used the warnings the least (50% & 65%) https://t.co/AvbYqdHpiP

Commercial TV companies are trying to slide through changes to their code of practice that would see 800+ hours open up to alcohol advertising each year. Our community want less alcohol advertising on TV and its time their concerns are truly heard.

This story highlights the importance of increasing awareness of the harms caused by alcohol. We know awareness of the harms caused by alcohol is generally low. We need governments to invest in action, like mandatory health warnings, to increase awareness of alcohol-related harms.
