NAPCAN SA’s (National Association for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect, South Australia) vision is that every Australian Community is child friendly, and focuses on promotion and primary prevention of child abuse and neglect.

We are proud to have achieved many things since establishing in 1987, some of these include coordinating National Child Protection Week, Conducting award winning prevention campaigns including; talking baby, its not ok to shake babies, don’t just stand there, and our latest campaign Children See, Children Do which is part of our new initiative Child Friendly Australia. NAPCAN has also distributed over 20 million prevention tools including brochures, posters and videos. The list goes on and we continue to work on this important issue.

NAPCAN SA needs your help now more than ever...
