Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) has gained increased recognition as a major health concern in Australia in recent years. The condition is characterised by learning, behavioural, memory, functional and physical impairments that are lifelong. FASD affects more Australians than Downs Syndrome, Spina Bifida and Cerebral Palsy combined, yet most professionals don’t feel equipped with the information they need to recognise or respond to it effectively.

This free webinar, sponsored by the La Trobe University Rural Health School, aimed to help health and community service professionals by providing a wide range of information on FASD. The webinar was held on 9 September, 2021.

This is part 1 of 4.
