Tony Parsons worked inside the country’s covert drug operations environment for many years, seeing the worst of the worst. His critical role in some of the highest profile undercover drug investigations, and many others so protected they have never seen the light of day, earned him several distinguished awards for diligence, lifesaving bravery and commitment. National Drug Awareness was founded to provide a platform of education and clarity for families to positively draw upon and create confidence in youth.

Today he works with elite athletes in tier one professional sporting codes on a range of drug and alcohol issues as well as criminal association and match fixing. He regularly speaks to school communities across Australia and overseas to ensure they have relevant and timely drug, alcohol and vaping information. Tony is contracted by government departments and the Australian Defence Force to provide best practise policy and information sessions to its personnel.

Tony has provided authoritative in-depth advice on policy development to the government’s national taskforce addressing Australia’s emerging illicit vaping culture. He has a keen interest in the relevancy of vaping amongst today's youth and works to deliver a down-to-earth approach of the harm associated with vaping.He is a board member of the charity organisation ‘The Good Life Project’ and provides time speaking at charity functions to raise awareness of empowerment through positive choices. Through humility and passion, he reinforces the message to youth of their individual importance, and to remain true to their unique purpose in life when faced with challenge or social pressures.
