Red Shoes Rock is over for 2023, but it’s time to start planning for September 2024!
Thank you to everyone who wore red shoes or socks in September to support FASD Awareness Month. We had the biggest Red Shoes Rock ever in 2023, and we’re excited to do it all again – only even bigger and better – in 2024!
Next September, we’re encouraging Australians to wear red shoes or socks throughout the month, to spark conversations and create an understanding about this largely invisible and preventable disability.
Meet our Official Shoe Partner
We’ve partnered with ethical Australian shoe brand, TWOOBS as our official shoe partner to amplify the campaign across the country.
Rock your
—Red Shoes

Share your photo on social media on 9 September, with the hashtags #FASD and #RedShoesRock to show your support.

Es ist so weit. Der Kalender zeigt den 1. Dezember 2023. In 24 Tagen ist Weihnachten. Nach den ersten eisigen Tagen und der ersten Schneeballschlacht, können wir vielleicht sogar auf weiße Weihnacht hoffen.
Dieses Jahr, ist das Weihnachtsfest für uns ein ganz besonderes Fest. Warum? Ganz einfach: Elias nimmt zum ersten mal bewusst wahr, was um ihn herum geschieht. Er verknüpft Dinge, erzählt vom Weihnachtsmann und singt voller Freude die ersten Weihnachtslieder. Der Glanz in den Kinderaugen verzaubert mich. Ich bin glücklich und unfassbar stolz auf diesen wundervollen Wirbelwind.

There are several myths surrounding ADHD. One myth suggests ADHD is merely an excuse for laziness or a lack of discipline. However, ADHD is a neurobiological condition, and individuals with this disorder often face genuine difficulties in areas related to executive functioning which can show up as struggles with time management, over-focus and under-focus, and emotional regulation challenges.
Understanding ADHD as a legitimate neurodevelopmental condition is crucial to dispelling such misconceptions. Read our latest blog that helps connect the dots for the AHA moment, and improved mental health that allows those with ADHD to embrace their superpowers! See: In The News: Link in Bio

In 2023, we lit up almost 70 landmarks and institutions across Australia to raise awareness of FASD. We will be looking to top this number in 2024, and are on the lookout for more buildings, landmarks and institutions who would like to join the movement. We encourage you to reach out to fare@fare.org.au if you’d like to know more!
Host an event in September 2024
FASD Awareness Month is an opportunity for you to get together with your community to talk about FASD, how to prevent it, and how to support people living with FASD.
Communities across Australia will be hosting events and getting together on 9 September, and throughout the month.
You can find a full calendar of community events, and also submit your own event on the NOFASD website.
Not sure what kind of event to host?
- Host a park walk or run, where everyone wears red shoes or socks
- Host a morning tea at work or with friends, featuring red food, and with guests wearing red
- Do you belong to a sporting team or club? Can you wear red for your games in September?
Remember, starting a conversation about FASD is our goal and we can help you with resources to spark conversation.
