Sun and swim safe (February)

Two things Australia is known for are the beautiful beaches and the sunny summers. While being at the beach during summer is a favoured leisure break – there are risks associated, and it is important that you are sun and swim safe.

Harmony Week (March)

Australia is a vibrant mix of cultures – from our First Nations peoples to nearly half of Australians with international roots. Harmony Week is our time to celebrate this diversity, and to learn, connect and create a more harmonious community together.

Party Safe (April)

Partying is a social activity many enjoy – however, it is important to keep safe and look out for others. Make sure your next celebration is epic and responsible. It is important to know tips on everything from responsible drinking, looking out for your mates, and making smart choices. Keep the party vibes positive and unforgettable for all the right reasons!
