The inaugural Adelaide Autumn Drive event, is set for Sunday April 7th, 2024. It builds on the incredible momentum generated by the charity and its committed volunteer network over the last year. Which saw debut drive events in Queensland and New South Wales, as well as multiple experiences in Victoria.

“The message from our community is strong. What DAD does to support mental wellness is vital. Opening up our trademark drive experiences is a fantastic way to further our impact,” said DAD Co-Founder, Sarah Davis.

“DAD’s drive days are social, non-competitive and open to all. And are grounded in the intention to normalise conversations about mental health. There are no minimum car requirements for participation; if it’s registered and you love it, bring it.

“We are really excited to bring our unique blend of mental health support, education and driving fun to South Australia for the first time, and invite you to join us,” she said.
