proactive people - preventative perspective

Welcome to the Dalgarno Institute !

People power still remains one of the greatest forces for change, even in our incredibly manipulated market driven culture. Yes, it's true that mass media can sway the public perception, but it is people, good people with good hearts that care enough to put themselves 'out there' to make a difference.

What the alcohol industry doesn’t want YOU to know!

The Dalgarno institute is made up of just such people. Over the past 150 years and beyond the Institute and its heritage have seen the collaboration of individuals, community groups, churches and associations come together to make our nation a better place.

We have sought all legitimate means including advocacy, education and just plain hard supportive and relational work, in our endeavour to help make the community, particularly the vulnerable, safer and healthier. Of course part of this proactive and protective mandate and process has been tackling the alcohol and other drug issue in our society. We are among the pioneers of community based education and advocacy in these areas, and have lobbied, laboured and lived out what has needed to be changed to make our communities safer and healthier, particularly for the young, youth and families.

As you traverse our site you'll begin to see some of what is on offer from and through the Dalgarno Institute. Join us as we seek to make our communities free and safe from the dangers of alcohol and other drugs.

AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF HOME DETENTION,
BROADCASTER DERRYN HINCH KNOWS
HIS LOUNGEROOM WELL

"Alcohol was banned, which wasn't a problem as Hinch hasn't drunk any since he underwent a liver transplant in the same month he was sentenced to home detention and has vowed never to again.He now enjoys alcohol-free Edenvale shiraz, chardonnay and sparkling cuvee, and jokes that people who now see him out and about tweet that they have seen him on the booze. "If you see me in a restaurant I'm not drinking alcohol," he laughs.
Hinch's biggest frustrations while detained were not being able to promote organ donation or speak to his 3AW audience. "I was the first person in Australia, possibly in the world, to be banned from using Twitter," he says.”
