Would your secondary school like to host a Gear Up for Ag Health & Safety™ Program?

Over 200 Victorian secondary school-aged students have been introduced to important health and farm safety topics through our Gear Up for Ag Health & Safety Program. The program is funded by the Victorian Government’s Smarter, Safer Farms initiative to positively influence farm safety culture and prepare students aspiring to a career in agriculture.
 
“The Gear Up For Ag program was educational and engaging. The students were active participants and gained a much greater understanding of farm safety. The presenters were knowledgeable and approachable. Great program”  - Monivae College, Hamilton
