Let’s put our hands together and congratulate this year’s award winners for the 2026 Western Australian Consumer Protection Awards. These awards provide an opportunity to reward and recognise the achievements of individuals, non-government organisations, businesses, local governments, journalists and media outlets that have increased awareness of consumer issues, provided support for disadvantaged consumers or contributed to injury prevention for children.

One of the award categories is the Kidsafe WA award. This award acknowledges community members who have made a meaningful contribution to preventing childhood injuries. It highlights those who contribute to raising awareness of specific product hazards, designing new products that improve consumer safety and developing or delivering initiatives that raise community awareness of injury prevention issues for children.

A huge congratulations to Cancer Council WA for their Clear the Air Program and for receiving the Kidsafe WA Award for 2026!

This program aims to protect young West Australians from nicotine addiction by reducing vaping, smoking and the use of new nicotine and tobacco products. This initiative aims to shift attitudes, raise awareness, and encourage quitting through targeted campaigns and support for young people.
