Did you know? That across Australia 39% of spinal cord injuries each year are from land transport crashes? This includes motorcycles, motor vehicles and cyclists. ParaQuad Tasmania are proud to partner with MAIB to provide an interactive and dynamic education program aimed at increasing awareness for young people on making wise choices on the roads.

BodySafe is a free program provided by ParaQuad Tasmania to schools and colleges statewide.

The BodySafe Education Program is an interactive and dynamic program aimed at students between years 8-12 and is carefully aligned with the Australian Curriculum (Health). The program discusses risk taking behaviours and the prevention of spinal cord injury and physical trauma (such as motorcycle and car accidents or risk-taking decisions).

Our presenters who deliver the program have an an acquired spinal cord injury and use their own stories throughout the presentation as a springboard for student engagement, allowing them to critically examine the key issues. Using this approach, our program encourages students to discuss difficult topics, think about their own choices as well as thinking flexibly and developing solutions in a group environment.

Standard group sizes are usually approx. 20-30 students. However, our presenters are also able to cater to assemblies and large groups. The program can vary depending on the size of your group, so please speak with us prior to booking in regards to the most suitable group size for your situation and requirements.

For further information, including how to sign up your school for this free program please contact ParaQuad Tasmania on: 03 6272 8816 or via email: [email protected]
