General community resources
These resources are are available for child health centres, community organisations, child care centres, swim schools and any other organisations working with parents and families.
CALD resources
Targeted resources are available for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) families. CALD parents are a priority for Keep Watch as new migrants may be less aware of water safety issues and aquatic conditions in Australia. Two illustrated water safety booklets are available for parents of young children.
Aboriginal resources
Targeted resources are available for Aboriginal families. The resource collection is suitable for both metropolitan and regional areas and includes two storybooks, two posters and an illustrated A5 size flipbook.
Bath safety packs
Baths are the most common place for children under one year of age to drown. Bath safety packs featuring a flannel, rubber duck and educational information for parents are now available. These aim to remind parents of new babies about the importance of keeping watch at bath time. The packs are available exclusively for child health nurses for distribution during early parenting groups or regular appointments.
Children's resources
It is important that children learn about water safety from a young age. The following resources teach children about adult supervision, learning to swim and survive and staying safe around different types of water in a fun and engaging way.
