20 years of the P.A.R.T.Y Program
Congratulations to P.A.R.T.Y Program on 20 years of service!
Run by Royal Perth Hospital, the P.A.R.T.Y Program aims to reduce trauma-related incidents by educating young people about the dangers of alcohol and drug use, and risky behaviours.
Stay On Your Feet® Remove Hazards campaign launched
The Stay On Your Feet® Remove Hazards campaign launched 1 September and will run until 30 November across WA. Remove Hazards is one part of the Move Improve Remove falls prevention messaging used to encourage older adults to stay active and independent.
The Remove Hazards campaign focuses on the importance of home safety, eye health, foot health, and wearing safe footwear to prevent falls and support healthy ageing.
WE SWIM Multicultural Community Water Safety Program launched
Royal Life Saving Australia has launched the WE SWIM Multicultural Community Water Safety Program.
The new national initiative, backed by $5 million in Australian Government funding, aims to reduce drowning risk, remove barriers to water safety education, and build belonging for refugees, recently arrived migrants and multicultural communities.

Holyoake has launched a new Wellbeing & Safety Toolkit to support individuals, families and communities across rural and regional Western Australia during times of uncertainty.
