About Us

Kidsafe Hunter was formed as a Regional Committee of Kidsafe (Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Australia) in October 1992 with the assistance of a seeding grant from the Roads & Traffic Authority of NSW.

Our main purpose is:
1. To minimise the risk of serious injury to children in the Hunter area

2. To reduce the stress on parents in dealing with child safety issues.

Our major goal is to establish a Child Safety Education Centre which will incorporate the Regional Headquarters of Kidsafe Hunter.

For The Latest Initiative

New Partnership

Thanks to TOMAGO ALUMINIUM we are now $25,000 closer to building the Safety Centre.
To celebrate their 25anniversary Tomago Aluminium chose to support an organisation with similar values to their own and Kidsafe Hunter was the grateful recipient. Tomago Aluminium have an enviable workplace injury free record because the staff care about each other and the company for whom they work. Building the Child Safety Centre is a logical choice to support so Kidsafe Hunter can train the workers of the future in keeping themselves safe

THANK YOU TOMAGO ALUMINIUM for your wise choice in partners.
