Hotel managers on the Gold Coast are furious that booklets targeted at schoolies last year had links with the Church of Scientology.

Gold Coast Schoolies Week is an annual pilgrimage that often sends parents into a panic, so when thousands of pamphlets claiming to reveal "the truth about drugs" were offered to Schoolies Week hotels for free, many obliged.

But one hotel manager, who did not want to be identified, claims the charity producing the booklet never mentioned they were linked to the controversial religion.

She said a volunteer from the Drug Free World Organisation gave her hotel hundreds of the pamphlets.

She handed them out to teenagers, unaware the material was sponsored by the Church of Scientology.

"It's very deceiving because I didn't expect it to be related to a religion or a cult following," she said.

The drug campaign is promoted on the Church of Scientology website, claiming: "Drugs are robbing our children of their future ... More than 700 million people have heard or seen The Truth About Drugs message."

But the booklets make no specific mention of Scientology.

"If they had told me that, I would have been a bit cautious about putting it out there, giving it to the kids who are very impressionable," the hotel manager said.

The Department of Child Safety said it has not authorised this material for schoolies.

It supports the celebrations with help from Christian volunteer group the Red Frogs.

"I think at things like Schoolies Week you do need to be careful, not to just to accept anything that someone hands you on the street," Red Frogs' Andy Gourley said.

A representative from the Drug Free World Organisation told Seven News they are proud to have the Church of Scientology as a key sponsor, insisting their message is positive and accurate regardless of its religious affiliations.

They now plan to hand out thousands more of the pamphlets at the Commonwealth Games in April.
