Kidsafe Victoria was established in 1979 as part of the Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Australia. We are an independent, non-profit, organisation dedicated to the prevention of unintentional death and injury to children through education, advocacy and research.

Kidsafe exists to prevent these tragedies. We do this by empowering families - particularly those who are most vulnerable - with the provision of practical strategies and knowledge of how to keep their kids safe. We run evidence-based community outreach programs and develop educational campaigns and resources in collaboration with a variety of stakeholders.

Since Kidsafe's establishment, the number of children in Australia killed by unintentional injury has reduced from over 700 deaths per year, to just over 150 deaths per year. To date, a great deal has been achieved in preventing unintentional injuries to children - however, there is still much to be done. Kidsafe and the community must continue their efforts to save the lives of Victorian children.
