The annual National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence is to be held in the third week of March each year to raise community awareness about bullying and violence and to provide positive strategies and activities to all Australian schools. 

The inaugural National Day of Action was launched on Friday 18 March 2011 by the Hon Peter Garrett, MP, Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth.

The Safe and Supportive School Communities Project, a joint initiative of Australia’s commonwealth, state and territory governments in collaboration with Catholic and Independent education authorities, is organising the annual day and making useful and practical information and ideas available to schools.

For more information about activities to support the 2011 initiative, including the Take A Stand Together campaign, and for other resources for schools, students and parents go to www.bullyingnoway.com.au.
