Vision
Life Education believes that all children deserve to lead safe and healthy lives. By placing preventive education at the core of our work we want to instil in children the confidence to make safer and healthier choices now and in the future.
Our program today reaches over 640,000 children across all seven states in Australia, with over 100 mobile learning centres and 95 specially trained educators.
Purpose
Life Education has been empowering children and young people to make safer and healthier choices through education for more than 35 years. We believe that each child should be living to their full potential. To meet this vision we design programs that are relevant to Australian children and young people every day, as well as their families and communities. We are now the largest non-government provider of drug and health education, operating in all States and Territories.
