This online resource has been co-designed with AgForce Queensland, GippsDairy, NSW Department of Education, Kempsey Shire Council and Port Macquarie-Hastings Council. This project will focus on building the capacity of primary and secondary school students, who will be the next generation of farmers, to understand risks and take appropriate actions to stay safe, and parents and teachers who are key influencers on the next generation’s attitude and behaviour change. This school to farm approach enables students, teachers and parents to be involved, bringing families together to learn and develop a shared understanding and positive attitude towards farm safety that will lead to increased uptake of safe practices.
