Drive Against Depression is a community-led charity creating space for mental wellbeing through driving and automotive experiences.

Built around the simple idea that connection matters, DAD brings people together through curated drives, events and automotive culture to encourage conversation, reduce isolation and make support more accessible. Every event is designed to create a welcoming environment where people can switch off from everyday pressures, connect with others and enjoy the therapeutic nature of driving.

What began as a grassroots movement has grown into a national community, with events now taking place across multiple capital cities and regions throughout Australia. From relaxed Sunday drives and cars & coffee gatherings through to larger flagship events, DAD continues to expand its reach and impact each year.

New events are added regularly, so whether you're a long-time enthusiast or simply looking to be part of a positive community, there’s always another drive on the horizon.
