Foundation House

The mission of Foundation House is to introduce people to themselves with the fervent hope that one day they may become friends

Foundation House is an alcohol, drug and gambling treatment centre run by the Construction Industry Drug and Alcohol Foundation (the Foundation).

The Foundation was established in 1994 to address the lack of availability of effective alcohol, drug and gambling treatment options, limited places in existing facilities, and unrealistic waiting lists in an already overcrowded public health system.

The Foundation is a non profit organisation that aims to raise funds to provide adequate, effective and readily accessible alcohol, drug and gambling treatment services and support to construction industry personnel, members of their families and the general public. It is an incorporated association, is registered under the Charitable Fundraising Act, and has been granted Gift Deductibility Status by the Australian Taxation Office.

The Foundation operates independently and autonomously, however it is linked through similar goals, and its target group to the Building Trades Group Drug and Alcohol Program. It is unique in its bringing together of all stakeholders in the building and construction industry in a co-operative and harmonious atmosphere in what has for many years been a confrontational environment.
