Good Sports Wins Government Support  

The $5.2 million the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced today for the Australian Drug Foundation's Good Sports program will ensure sporting clubs across the nation are supported to change their culture, so they can focus more on young people and families and less on the consumption of alcohol at high-risk levels. 

ADF CEO John Rogerson says "This is great news for Good Sports, it means we can get the program out to more community sporting clubs across Australia, and make those clubs safer and healthier places for families and club members."
