The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence is now a national week of action—12 to 16 August 2024.
Bullying No Way Week is Australia’s key bullying prevention initiative and connects schools and communities to find workable solutions to prevent bullying.
The week gives schools and supporters flexibility to plan activities that suit their schedule—whether it's spreading awareness throughout the week or focusing on 1 impactful day (or 2).
2024 theme
The theme for 2024 is 'Everyone belongs'.
When we all feel like we belong, bullying struggles to find a place. It's about embracing who we are, respecting everyone's differences and standing up together against unkindness.
Belonging means we all have a role in preventing bullying. We're encouraged to speak up and create a safe place where everyone feels supported and respected, and our voices are heard and valued.
Registration
Each year thousands of schools from government, Catholic and independent schools across Australia come together to promote inclusion, respect and belonging.
Individuals, early childhood providers, community and sporting organisations also play an important role in working with young people to find bullying prevention solutions and are invited to join as supporters.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, student or member of the broader community, we invite you to join us. Everyone has a role to play in bullying prevention.
