Did you know that around 20 children under 15 years are fatally injured on Australian farms every year and many more are hospitalised or treated by General Practitioners across Australia?

Come along with your family to this field day with a difference and help build a safer farming environment for you and your family.

There will be information sessions, interactive activities for children and adults, clothing and protection equipment available for purchase and free information to take away.  There will be a demonstration on the proper use of ATV's for adults and children (to be confirmed).  Demonstrations will be repeated over the course of the field day.

Be part of the solution to making our farm environment a safe one!
