National FASD Program: Social Return on Investment

In this report Impact Economics and Policy has estimated that the lifetime economic and social costs of exposure to alcohol during
pregnancy in Australia range between $2.7 billion and $6.4 billion per year.
Reducing the costs of alcohol harm during pregnancy requires improved access to diagnosis, increased awareness of the harms, and continued support for campaigns like the National FASD Program Campaign.
