The theme this year is “We All Play a Part” - acknowledging the part we can (and do!) play in building a culture of water safety in New Zealand. We’re celebrating those who play a part in keeping New Zealanders safe in and around water, and we would love you to share your story. Whether it’s sharing your own story, or shining a light on someone else's effort - individual or organisation - please celebrate how we All Play a Part this Water Safety month.

Create content or a post - use the hashtag #weallplayapart or tag us in and we’ll make sure your story is amplified.

Water Safety Month is an opportunity to highlight the great work being done in communities across the motu and by organisations within the sector - from Coastguard crews, to surf lifesaving clubs, community groups, teachers, parents and more.

Drowning prevention is a complex issue that no single group can solve alone. By recognising the role we each play as individuals, whānau, communities, and organisations, we can build a stronger culture of water safety across Aotearoa.

Let’s celebrate the big and small steps we can take to keep eachother safe.

We’ve supplied tools below to help you with your content - plus some examples of how we’ll be using them to inspire you!
