Already this summer, 5 Australian children under 15 have drowned.
“Water play can bring us and our children joy, but without care, water is an ever-present and merciless danger.”
Important reminder from Dr Warwick Teague @doctorwozza @RCHMelbourne.

Some hot days are ahead for Victoria. If you plan to buy or use a portable pool, remember to actively supervise kids & check your local council’s fencing laws.

Planning ahead for #Halloween?🎃Beware of products that use button batteries to power up novelty & flashing objects.
If the product does use button batteries, make sure they have a secure battery compartment that can’t be opened by children.
