Kidsafe House
Many child injuries occur in the kitchen.

The Kidsafe House has a fully fitted kitchen stacked with safety features and good ideas such as stoveguards, safety gates, cupboard and draw locks, plug minders, safety switches and cord coilers to use in your home.
 

Drowning is the most common cause of death for toddlers.

A pool fence that complies with the Australian Standard, with a self latching, self closing gate is the single most effective measure to prevent toddler drownings. Our Kidsafe House has information about how to make your pool safer for children.
 

Each week 1,500 calls are made to Poisons Information Centres about children and poisons.

You can safeguard your child by locking up dangerous products. At the Kidsafe House we have a range of different child resistant safety catches, locks and medicine cupboards to show you.
