Founded in 1980 and based in West Leederville, Kidsafe WA works tirelessly to educate parents and children on staying safe at home, at play, and on the road. Their dedicated Board of Directors, supported by various funding sources, guides the organization’s strategic direction. The relocation to a purpose-built community facility has enhanced their ability to deliver contemporary services and expand programs across Western Australia. Through partnerships with stakeholders and ongoing community engagement, Kidsafe WA continues its mission to prevent unintentional childhood deaths and injuries.
Kidsafe WA’s commitment to child safety extends to acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land. They have developed a Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan to ensure culturally safe and inclusive services. By walking alongside Indigenous communities, Kidsafe WA aims to contribute to reconciliation efforts and promote the health and well-being of all children in Western Australia. Proudly a Member of Reconciliation WA, Kidsafe WA remains dedicated to creating safer environments for children to grow, live, learn, and play.
