Sir David Martin Foundation

Sir David Martin Foundation was established in 1990 to help young Australians in crisis by providing safety, hope, and opportunity. Our focus is enabling best-practice models of treatment for youth drug and alcohol addiction, aiming to break the devastating cycle of addiction.

Founded by Lady Martin, honouring the vision of her late husband, Former Governor Sir David Martin, we believe that young people have the capacity to make sustained, positive change, when given the appropriate support.

We support programs that offer a health and holistic approach to youth addiction. This includes withdrawal, residential rehabilitation and aftercare. These programs provide a safe place for young people to get well, prepare for new opportunities, and create a lasting change in their lives.
