About Us

Kidsafe Hunter was formed as a Regional Committee of Kidsafe (Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Australia) in October 1992.

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.
