About Us

Kidsafe works proactively around Australia with parents, communities and governments to minimise the burden of childhood injury on our health systems by increasing awareness, providing child safety education, advocacy and reviewing the causes and prevention of childhood injuries.

The Kidsafe Tasmania Safety Resource Centre opens the door on the dangers to a baby or child which exist in the home.

Opened in 2003 by the Tasmanian Minister for Education, the Hon. Paula Wriedt, The Safety Resource Centre is an important resource in Kidsafe`s mission to prevent the unintentional death and injury to Tasmanian children.

Located at Abbotsfield Primary School, in Abbotsfield Rd., Claremont, the centre is a valuable source of information for anyone interested in the safety of children. The centre is located in the schools administration building and is opened during school terms and at other times by arrangement.

The safety centre includes a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom and shows the potential hazards for a child in each of these rooms and offers practical advice on what can be done to avoid them. Separate displays also focus on safety in areas such as playgrounds, cars, water and roads.

Safety devices such as electrical safety plugs and catches, stove and oven knob covers, corner cushions, tap protectors and flow guards can also be purchased at the centre. A range of information sheets and brochures covering child protection and child safety issues is also available free-of-charge from the centre.

Anyone interested in learning more about the child safety centre or seeking to arrange a visit can phone the centre on (03) 6249 1933 or contact us via this website.
