National Burns Awareness Month is an initiative of Kidsafe, Australia’s leading community organisation dedicated to child injury prevention, and held in June each year as there is a significantly increased risk of burns during winter.
With the support of Burnaid® gel, it will be hosting a series of national educational and awareness initiatives throughout the month.
Throughout June, Kidsafe invites you to raise awareness of burns prevention and correct first aid by posting on social media.
