KIDSAFE is an independet not-for-profit, non government, community organisation
dedicated to the prevention of unintentional injury and injury death in
children from birth to 16 years of age.
We do this by providing resources, information and education to
parents, carers, early childcare workers and others who care for
children, on the hazards children face and what can be done to prevent
these injuries occurring.
Kidsafe operates at national, state and regional levels and in
co-operation with government, industry, schools, hospitals, the media,
community groups, voluntary organisations and individuals.
Kidsafe prepares programs and campaigns to alert the media, the
authorities and the community at large about new and existing dangers,
trends in injuries, the latest research and methods for reducing these
injuries and injury deaths in children. Additionally, we provide a
one-stop-safety-product shop conveniently located at Kidsafe House with
an array of products on display and for sale to prevent injuries to
babies, toddlers and children.
Kidsafe actively participates on advisory committees and boards for
Australian Standards on products and services relating to children, safe
travel and injury prevention committees to further understand the
mechanisms of injuries to develop preventions strategies and advocate
for legislative changes where necessary and appropriate.
We can only continue our advocacy, education and media campaigns with
the support of donations and sponsorship and government grants. We
invite you to join with Kidsafe and prevent unintentional injuries and
injury death in our children – keeping our children safe and healthy.
You can help by becoming a friend of Kidsafe, by donating to Kidsafe,
becoming an advocate for Kidsafe, by leaving a gift to Kidsafe in your
will and joining the Kidsafe Circle of Life bequesters club and by volunteering at Kidsafe House.
Please call Susan or Heather at Kidsafe if you are able to help on 3854 1829 or email.
Each day in Australia, 5,000 children require medical attention, 170 are admitted to hospital and one child dies - all as a result of unintentional injuries.
Most of these injuries occur at home and at school.
KIDSAFE QUEENSLAND needs your support.
All donations to KIDSAFE QLD INC support our objective of reducing unintentional injury to children.
