Personal Safety and Security
Australia is generally a safe place, our political system is stable, and our crime rate is low. However, it’s best to take the same precautions with your personal safety and possessions as you would anywhere else in the world. Personal safety can be compromised in many situations.
On Friday 25 October 2024 from 1pm Gary Fawcus [a Sunbury Seniors’ member and retired officer from Victoria Police] will give us some tips on Personal Safety and Security.
Gary will touch on personal safety in public places, out after dark, at home and who you should contact if for instance your life or property is being threatened or in danger, or if you are a victim of crime or have just witnessed a serious incident and the support services available.

Regular, meaningful conversations with the people close to you can help prevent small things from becoming big things.

So don't wait for R U OK?Day on 12 September. Why not ask R U OK? any day of the year?
