About Us
The Ted Noffs Foundation was founded by the great Australian humanitarian, Reverend Ted Noffs, over 30 years ago. During his remarkable career of pioneering initiatives for young people, Ted Noffs established Sydney’s first 24 hour crisis centre in 1968, set up the first Drug Referral Centre in Sydney in 1967, co-founded the Aboriginal Affairs Foundation in 1962 and was the co-founder of Lifeline in 1963.
The Ted Noffs Foundation today continues the legacy of Ted Noffs by providing essential services for young people and their families who are experiencing drug and alcohol problems and related trauma. Its range of programs for young people are all based on leading research, continually evaluated and government endorsed.
TNF runs PALM - the Program for Adolescent Life Management - residential programs of up to three months for young people with serious alcohol and substance use problems in five locations in Australia.
