National Burns Awareness Month

National Burns Awareness Month

June is National Burns Awareness Month and has been established to create greater awareness amongst the Australian community of the correct first aid treatment for minor burns. 🥴

Burn injury is one of the top 3 causes of accidental death in children 👧under five years of age and one of the 3 most common injuries suffered by an Australian each year. Studies show that 88% of minor burns happens in the home and yet 90% of Australians who experience a burn do not know the correct first aid for a burn! 😬 For more information and resources go to https://kidsafe.com.au/nbam-burnsafe-resources/

Together we can make a difference in reducing the incidence and impact of burn injuries.💪
