Play Safety

Play @ Kidsafe WA

Playgrounds can offer children and families lots of opportunity for fun and learning – but serious playground injury is no fun at all.

Play @ Kidsafe WA provides a range of services to help you create and maintain play spaces that support children’s development, learning, health and wellbeing while reducing the risk of serious injury.

Our Playground Advisors have a range of qualifications and experience and have worked with child care, schools, community groups and local government over many years.

They are also Accredited Playground Inspectors, and are independent from playground manufacturers and retailers.
