22.01.2022 Today is #ThankaFirstResponder Day! To all first responders - thank you!

21.01.2022 Teaching kids how 000 (triple zero) works and when to use it is a vital part of growing up in Australia. But with all the international shows on TV, it’s easy f...or kids to get confused by all the emergency phone numbers they see: 911, 999, 112, 111. Teach your kids to get help from Fire, Police or Ambulance they must call 000 (triple zero). Why not introduce your kindergarten or primary school age kids to the free Triple Zero Kids’ Challenge app? Find it here https://www.health.tas.gov.au///triple_zero_kids_challenge It’s a fun way to help them learn what to do in an emergency.

20.01.2022 Next Wednesday 20th May we’ll be celebrating Wear Orange Wednesday!. To be involved by dressing in orange, hosting an orange themed event with your household, or sharing a message of thanks on social media with the hashtags #thankyouSES and #WOWDay Brodie Elmo Emmerton

19.01.2022 It's R U OK? Day, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today we're calling on Australians to learn what to say a...fter R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK. There's more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where we're all connected and are protected from suicide. Head to www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask
