About AA?
Alcoholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who have had a drinking problem. It is non-professional, self-supporting, nondenominational, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. There are no age or education requirements. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about his or her drinking problem.
Our purpose is to stay sober and help other people get sober.
If you are new to AA and looking for information about meetings, call 1300 222 222 to speak to an experienced AA member.
Or email info@aa.org.au
And there is information about meetings on the national AA website.
There are AA Offices around Australia. There is a List of Offices on the National AA Website.
Many local groups and service committees also have websites. This list of AA websites includes most of them.
