National Burns Awareness Month (NBAM) aims to drive greater awareness amongst the Australian community of burns prevention and the correct first aid treatment for burns.
National Burns Awareness Month is an initiative of Kidsafe, Australia’s leading community organisation dedicated to child injury prevention, and held in June each year as there is a significantly increased risk of burns during winter.
Throughout the month of June, Kidsafe invites you to raise awareness of burns prevention and correct first aid by posting on social media and sending a press release to your local newspaper.

COMMUNITY AWARENESS KIT
Want to get involved? The Community Awareness Kit was developed for organisations, groups and services to aid their involvement in National Burns Awareness Month.
You’ll find everything you need in the kit, including links to posters, brochures, checklists, videos, learning activities, social media posts/graphics and a template media release.
