Australia launches $10 million anti-bullying campaign

The Australian Federal Government has launched a $10 million anti-bullying campaign, the first of its kind in the country, featuring television and radio advertisements aimed at addressing harmful behaviours both at school and online. Recent reports show one in four children in grades four to nine experience regular bullying, with online bullying cases surging 455% since 2019. From next year, schools will be required to respond to bullying complaints within two days, though educators have raised concerns about needing clearer guidance on how to effectively address reported incidents.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
