This resource package and teacher guide provides a vast range of resources to support teachers to promote and teach farm safety in the classroom. It aims to ensure students become safety focused when on farms and see every situation through a safety lens to prevent farm accidents.

This education package will form the basis for students’ attitudes and practices towards farm safety, with the objective of ensuring safer farm practices in the future.

The program is designed for Year 9 and 10 students, but content is also relevant for students in Years 7 and 8. All activities are linked to the Australian Curriculum (Version 9.0). Many of the objectives align with the Health and Physical Education learning area, however cross-curricula objectives are also highlighted.

Supplementary materials that accompany the Resource Package can also be accessed by the above links. These materials include:
