Today, Queensland Youth Services stands together with communities across Australia to recognise Day for Daniel. 🔴

For over 20 years, Bruce and Denise Morcombe have turned tragedy into a legacy of protection and hope. At QYS, our mission is to support, empower, and advocate for young people—and that starts with ensuring they have safe environments to live, grow, and thrive, both online and offline. [1, 2]

We encourage everyone in our community to take action today:
1️⃣ Wear Red to show your solidarity.
2️⃣ Educate the young people in your life using resources like Australia’s Biggest Child Safety Lesson.
3️⃣ Donate to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation to fund ongoing child safety initiatives. [1, 2, 3]

Let’s empower our youth to Recognise, React, and Report unsafe situations. Every young person deserves to feel safe and supported.

👉 Access free safety guides and resources at the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.

🎉 Good vibes, great connections, and a whole lot of Plinko!

QYS had an awesome time at Thuringowa State High School’s Community Connect Day, hanging out and connecting with students from Rasmussen State School and Thuringowa State High School. 💙

🎯 Plinko stole the show! Students let the ball drop and scored some fantastic QYS merch — with plenty of laughs along the way!

🙌 We love days like this: having fun, meeting young people, and reminding them that QYS is always in their corner.

💛 Are You OK? Day 💛

Another catch-up from last month with the wonderful staff at Queensland Youth Services, taking the time to connect, check in and have some meaningful conversations.

While Are You OK? Day is an important reminder, looking out for our friends, family and colleagues should be something we do every day.

Take a moment to ask, listen and genuinely check in. Sometimes, a simple “Are you okay?” can make a real difference. 💛

💜🌳 A little throwback to Child Protection Week! 🌳💜

A few weeks ago, we got together at Queensland Youth Services to celebrate Child Protection Week — and what a fun day it was! 🎉

We fired up the BBQ 🌭, caught up and socialised with everyone, got creative decorating our Safety Tree 🌳🎨, enjoyed some colouring in, and put our driving skills to the test on the driving simulators! 🚗💨😎

It was a great day filled with laughs, creativity, good food and plenty of connection. Most importantly, it gave us a chance to come together and talk about creating safe, supportive spaces where young people can feel heard, valued and cared for. 💜

Thanks to everyone who joined in and helped make the day such a great one! 🙌

Independence Day in Papua New Guinea is celebrated on the 16th of September every year and it commemorates the country's official separation from Australia in 1975. This marked the end of nearly 70 years of colonial rule. This day is a national holiday throughout the country, and locals come together to celebrate with vibrant and colorful processions, traditional music and dance performances.
Independence Day celebrations in Papua New Guinea portray a unique fusion of old and new customs. A blend of traditional customs alongside more modern practices makes the day all the more special and memorable. A range of events are held throughout the country, including the Independence Day Relay in Port Moresby, boat races, cultural shows, and exhibitions. These events offer a platform to highlight the diverse traditional cultures, languages, and the rich history of the country.
Apart from the exciting events and processions, Independence Day in Papua New Guinea serves as a reminder of the country's journey to freedom and sovereignty. It is a time for the citizens to reflect on their rich history, the struggles endured, and the sacrifices made by their forebears for their future generation. Public speeches and media broadcasts often highlight the significance of independence and the responsibility that comes with upholding the country's values and principles.
