Australia’s National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence is a call to action for school communities across Australia to come together, find solutions for bullying and violence in order to create a positive change in their school. This year the focus is on empowering students to join the conversation and promote bullying prevention strategies. The aim of the National Day of Action is to build understanding of school bullying prevention messages, establish more positive relationships within school communities, actively challenge bullying behaviour, and support students who have experienced bullying.
