Child safety advocates are calling on Sunraysia and Mallee residents to join the fight against child sexual abuse on Bravehearts Day today, Friday, 11 September.
With the 2026 rally cry Together we CAN Fight Child Sexual Abuse, Bravehearts urges communities, families, and workplaces to unite to support prevention, education, and counselling services that help protect children and support those impacted by child sexual abuse.
Bravehearts CEO Alison Geale said a key element of preventing child sexual abuse can start with giving adults the confidence to have everyday conversations about personal safety and boundaries with the children in their lives.
“Child sexual abuse can be difficult to talk about, but it is far too important not to. Bravehearts Day is about turning awareness into action and giving families practical ways to have an influence.”
Funds raised through Bravehearts Day help deliver personal safety education and specialist counselling for those impacted by child sexual abuse.
Today, Friday 11 September 2026, Busy Bees Early Learning will match all donations to Bravehearts Day, doubling the impact of community support.
