National FASD Program: Social Return on Investment
In 2023, almost 90,000 children are estimated to have been born after exposure to the potentially harmful effects of alcohol during pregnancy.
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.
