Life Ed Qld provides health and wellbeing education to children and young people across the state. Our program starts in early education centres and continues into primary and high school, with our educators visiting students each year to build upon past sessions, empowering them with the skills and knowledge they need to make safer and healthier choices in life.
We work closely with teachers and parents to provide children with age-appropriate health and safety messages that support the existing learning both inside and outside of the classroom.
Without adequate health education, our children may be poorly equipped to face some of life’s biggest challenges. This might include decisions surrounding alcohol and drugs; staying safe online; nutrition and exercise; and combatting cyber-bullying.
We all want to see our children thrive. We understand you want to provide your child with the best possible start in life, which is why we support you and your child by reinforcing the key health and safety messages you have begun teaching at home.
Life Ed Qld has educated more than 1.5 million Queenslanders about health and wellbeing since our founding in 1987. Recent statistics show:

Our program provides our children with the skills and knowledge they need to be able to confidently face these new and emerging challenges.
