It is hard to escape information about the bushfires.  Children are exposed to footage and information on TV, Radio, print and social media.  Some children are also experiencing first-hand the trauma or overhearing adults talking about the impact on people, place and animals.

To help address any concerns or worries children may have, we have compiled a list of resources below which may help you discuss the events with your child/ren.

We’ll be updating this list regularly with beneficial resources we’ve found.

  • Bushfire Recovery: NSW State Government Resource for Early Childhood Services :
  • Talking to children about bushfires from ParentTV:
  • ‘Bushfire Social Story’ – developed by Early Connections:
  • Flipbook available in multiple languages developed by Children’s Health Queensland:
  • Resources for Parents & Carers from the Community Trauma Toolkit – from Emerging Minds: click here
  • Disaster Assistance Finder:
  • Cleanup Assistance: A registration for assistance cleaning up after bushfire impact:
