Central Australian Aboriginal Alcohol Programs Unit (CAAAPU) 

The Central Australian Aboriginal Alcohol Programs Unit (CAAAPU) is a leading Aboriginal community-controlled organisation based in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in Australia’s Northern Territory, committed to minimising alcohol and other drug (AOD) harms across Central Australia.

Guided by cultural authority and community priorities, CAAAPU delivers residential rehabilitation and support programs that combine evidence-based treatment with culturally responsive care, promoting healing, resilience, and reconnection to culture, family, and community.



Through community-led approaches, the organisation works to foster safer, healthier futures for Aboriginal people and their communities.
