Internet Safety

With easy access to computers, smart phones and other devices, technology is at the forefront of most parents mind’s. Browse this section to teach your child the smart way to use technology.

Personal Safety

Child Abuse:  There are different forms of child abuse. These include neglect, sexual, physical and emotional abuse.

Safety at School

What is Bullying: Misunderstandings and arguments are pretty common in the playground. Kids are still developing social skills and learning how to communicate with others.

Fire, Flood & Storm

Every home should have a fire escape plan. Accidental home fires by their very nature can catch people unawares.

Health & Safety

The ‘Child Safety Handbook’ was officially launched in 2011 at Government House. A much needed and vital guide to assist children, parents and teachers, the Handbook covers the entire extent of potential hazards that young children face. The Handbook offers advice and facts on everyday activities, cyber safety, bullying, crossing roads etc. to the more unusual incidents such as such as floods and fires and even goes into details on the effects of smoking, caffeine and drugs. Read the handbook.

Every year, around 350 Australian Children die from unintentional injuries.
