Karrralika Programs will be running REVERSED: a new drink driver education course in the ACT. Under new legislation commencing on 25 November 2011, those who commit a drink driving or drug driving offense in the ACT are required to complete an education course before the RTA will issue a license. REVERSED is a six hour educational and therapeutic awareness course for mid to high range offenders and repeat offenders in the ACT.

CEO Camilla Rowland joined Minister Joy Burch on ValleyFM as part of the ‘Community Champion’ segment to profile the community organisations supporting Canberrans.

Karralika Programs Inc. is excited to unveil our new website and our new logo.
Many of you will know our organisation and the services and programs we deliver as ADFACT – the Alcohol and Drug Foundation of the ACT.

Changing our name to Karralika Programs Inc. connects us to the history of our beginnings back in the late 1970’s at the Karralika Homestead (Karralika is said to mean ‘on a height’), as well as reflecting how the organisation has evolved since then.

Karralika Programs Inc. offers a range of alcohol and drug rehabilitation and education programs in residential and community settings and within the Alexander Maconochie Centre to help individuals and families ‘choose a better life’.

I invite you to take a look around the site and let us know what you think!

We are proud to support individuals and families in the ACT and surrounding regions and acknowledge the support we receive from the State, Territory and Federal Government agencies as well as our fantastic members and partners.

While you’re here, why not consider becoming a member of Karralika Programs Inc. or contacting us to talk about how you might be able to add your support.

Chief Executive Officer
