Welcome to Kidsafe NSW

Applications are now open for National Burns Awareness Month  grants

This year Kidsafe Australia is hosting National Burns Awareness Month (NBAM)(June 1st -30th). The aim of NBAM is to drive greater awareness amongst the Australian community of burns prevention and the correct first aid treatment for burns.

Child Safety Good Practice Guide

Kidsafe NSW, along with Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network and NeuRA, are proud to announce the launch of the Child Safety Good Practice Guide!  Kidsafe was created in response to the increasing number of children being unintentionally injured at home, on roads and at play.  Over the past ten years, these types of injuries have remained consistent. 

In response, NSW child safety and health experts have joined forces to develop this Australian-first resource.  This Guide has given us better understanding of where good progress has been made as well as highlighted areas of investment for the future.
