CALD Water Safety Exhibition
One in four drowning deaths involve people born outside Australia or Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities.
A CALD Water Safety Photography Exhibition 2019 was created as a direct response of drowning statistics.
The aim of the exhibition is to use photos on social media and other communication channels to educate CALD communities about the importance of water safety.
The campaign is also a way for the broader community to understand how they can help CALD communities to connect, share knowledge and gather skills to protect themselves when enjoying our rivers, pools, beaches etc.
Over the summer period, we will be releasing these images on our Facebook page highlighting water safety messages.
Please share the messages and check out exhibition photos below!
Stay safe in the water

- Wear a lifejacket when boating, rock fishing or paddling
- Swim at a patrolled beach between the red and yellow flags
