We care about the safety of young people.

At Youthsafe we believe that the high rate of serious injury amongst young people aged 15-25 years is unacceptable. We know that many of these injuries are preventable and we are committed to making a positive difference to youth injury in NSW.

We are an independent, non profit organisation.

So we have the freedom to address safety across the range of settings where young people get injured – we are involved in road safety, rail safety, workplace safety, sport safety and recreational safety, including safer celebrations.

'SafeClub' officially launched

SafeClub was officially launched on 25th June 2009 with the support of the NSW Department of Sport and Recreation. Over 40 people representing sport from across NSW attended the luncheon launch to hear how SafeClub makes safety easy for community sport. A presentation from SafeClub’s Jane Nethery and Kristy Abbott included an overview of the program and the research evidence while Michelle Hanley from Football NSW covered the benefits of SafeClub from a sport perspective. Sports from across NSW are now signing up to partner with SafeClub to make their sport safer.

'In Working Order' kits distributed to all
schools in NSW...

The “In Working Order” OHS resource kit for educators, employers and parents of young people in high school has been launched. The kit was highly commended in the Leadership in Safety category by NSW WorkCover at the 2008 SafeWork Awards.

Judges commented that ‘young workers are in the high-risk category to be injured. This is a fantastic program that promotes education to those workers at risk and shows what great results can be achieved when partnering with WorkCover and the industry.’
