Each year, approximately 250 Australian children (aged 0-14 years) are killed and 58,000 hospitalised by unintentional injuries - the kind often referred to as accidents. Many of these are easily prevented by simple means.
"The National Kidsafe Day Awards are a way to recognise people in the community who actively keep our kids safe. They're often the unsung heroes of a community, however it's important to recognise their contributions and inspire others to follow suit," says Kidsafe's National President, Peter Gibson.
The 2013 National Kidsafe Day Awards will be announced on National Kidsafe Day, Tuesday 22nd October 2013.There are four award categories in 2013, including:
Kidsafe Media AwardResponsible Retailer Award
Kidsafe Local Champion Award (Adult Award - Individual/Group)
