IT’S ALL ABOUT THE COMMUNITY.

What is public health?

All about keeping our communities safe and healthy.

At ACADS, we are all about encouraging our community to take positive action to reduce the harm caused by alcohol and other drugs. We do this through a range of regulatory and health promotion activities including ensuring compliance with the law, involvement with alcohol and drug policy and through community action projects.

The personal and social costs of alcohol harm are far reaching, affecting the drinker, families and others in the community.

The sale of alcohol in New Zealand is controlled by The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. Its aim is to ensure the safe and responsible sale, supply, and consumption of alcohol, and to reduce the harm caused by excessive or inappropriate alcohol use. ACADS provides training sessions that cover host responsibility and how venues and other clubs can comply with alcohol legislation.
