Every week, 17 children are treated at a specialist burns unit across Australia and New Zealand. Protect your family this National Burns Awareness Month.
Kidsafe Australia is urging parents and carers to take action to prevent burns in the home as winter hits and ensure they are aware of the correct first aid measures if a burn does occur.
The call comes during National Burns Awareness Month, an Australia-wide campaign focused on raising awareness of prevention and correct first aid treatment for burns and scalds across all age groups. The campaign is run by Kidsafe Australia in partnership with the Australian and New Zealand Burns Association (ANZBA).
Check out the Kidsafe website to learn more about National Burns Awareness Month and find some great burns prevention information.
