Scams Awareness Week 2026 is a chance for all of us to talk more openly about scams and how to stay safe.
This year’s theme, ‘No one’s just a number’, reminds us that behind every scam report is a real person – a parent, friend, neighbour or colleague – whose money, time or trust has been stolen.
Scams can happen to anyone, and being targeted by a scammer is never a reflection of a person’s intelligence or character.
National Child Protection Week, with the theme “Every Conversation Matters, Shifting Conversation to Action”.
Protecting children and young people is everyone’s business, requiring whole-of-community involvement. If you are aware of any child experiencing abuse please contact the Legal Support Line: 1300 888 529 (Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm)
2026 Focus: Moving past simple awareness to create real, practical changes that keep kids safe, supported, and heard.
