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
Wear red shoes or socks during September and take a video or photo holding one of our signs, which you can download from our resources page.
Share your photo on social media on 9 September, with the hashtags #FASD and #RedShoesRock to show your support.
Don’t forget to tag and follow us on:

Walk by Hope Terrace and you`ll see a well-maintained garden teeming with life. This is Barry`s garden, and he`s been tending to his flowers and plants for well over a year — earning him a cityofedmonton Front Yards in Bloom award nomination.
Because Barry has all the right wraparound supports to help him with his Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (#FASD), he can focus his energy on tending to his garden — now able to lean on his strengths, Barry works tirelessly pulling weeds, fertilizing, and making sure the plant life around Hope Terrace can flourish. This routine helps build the confidence he needs in his work-readiness skills, setting him up for future success.
When the folks at Hope Terrace can realize their self-directed goals, that`s one of the clearest signs for their quality of life — nurturing their growth and thriving in their own unique way.

Although it may not look like it sometimes, our kids love and need us. They can be as frustrated with themselves as others may be with them.
We misunderstand them and they misunderstand us.
Or as one caregiver shared – Be curious. Not furious.

Had unprotected sex or a condom broke? Now what?
Don`t panic! You have options for emergency contraception:
Pills: Plan B, commonly referred to as the morning-after pill can be taken up to 5 days after. (Options include Plan B (progestin) and Ella (ulipristal)). Talk to your doctor or local pharmacist for more information.
However, prevention is always best. Plan ahead and stay safe. Talk to your healthcare provider (doctor, nurse, walk-in clinic) about safe sex methods that best suit you.

Auch beim Essen kann Achtsamkeit praktiziert werden. Nimm dir für dein Essen genug Zeit und lass dich nicht nebenbei vom Fernsehen, deinem Handy, Kollegen oder Familie ablenken. Das ist nicht leicht, aber vielleicht gelingt es dir zumindest ab und zu, diesen Moment ganz für dich zu nutzen und dein Essen bewusst zu genießen. Dabei kannst du deine Sinne schärfen: Achte auf Gerüche und den Geschmack. Was für Gewürze schmeckst du raus? Manches kannst du auch hören. Hörst du es Zischen? Wie fühlt es sich im Mund an? Was empfindest du dabei?

Make it
—Monumental
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.
