An update from the DASA CEO – 8 May 2026
As many of you would be aware, DASA experienced severe damage at Aranda House, our Therapeutic Community facility, during the February 2026 Alice Springs flood event. Since then, we have been working closely with the Northern Territory Department of Health to secure the future of Aranda House. We are grateful for the ongoing support from the Department of Health to develop interim and longer-term solutions and plans. I further extend my thanks to the NTPHN and NIAA, especially our contract managers, for their ongoing support and flexibility.

DASA would like to acknowledge & thank the Department of Health for their generous grant to purchase a new SUS bus. Their support plays a vital role in helping us safely transport clients from the Alice Springs Hospital Emergency Department to the Sobering Up Shelter. We truly appreciate their commitment to supporting our mission, and we look forward to keeping you all updated on the positive outcomes.

Thank you!
On 16th January 1985 Drug and Alcohol Services Australia Ltd (DASA) was officially registered to provide supervised accommodation and care for intoxicated people in Alice Springs.

Outreach BBQ - Alice Springs Town Council lawns
A massive thank you goes out to the Northern Territory Government for funding the ATC International Women's Day luncheon in March. The residents were able to showcase their cooking skills and cater to their guests as well as discuss the importance of being a woman in today's world.  It was a great day enjoyed by all who attended. Once again, thank you NTG for your continued support.
