Be the Influence - Tackling Binge Drinking

Drinking responsibly and having a great night out can go together. In fact a night out is always better when you're in control and don't risk being a burden on your mates or putting yourself at risk. The Australian Government is delivering the Be the Influence - Tackling Binge Drinking campaign, to help give young people the tools to cope with peer pressure and ensure every night out is a good one. The campaign will also incorporate a number of exciting activations and events for everyone to become involved in.

NZ Safe Practice Guidelines

The NZ Government has released Safe Practice Guidelines for Youth Mentoring Programmes. The safe practice guidelines have been developed to support NZ youth mentoring programs to ensure their programs are safe for both young people and volunteer mentors, so that youth mentoring relationships have the best chance of success. 

The guidelines may be useful to Australian youth mentoring programs as an additional resource, however, Australian programs should comply with the Australian and relevant State legislation that applies to them.
