Sneeze safe

Sneezesafe is a health education program for schools, designed for children aged 4–7. Devised by Kleenex® Tissues and Australian teachers, this resource enables schools to encourage children to practise correct respiratory hygiene and tissue use to help reduce the spread of colds, flu and other viruses.

You can help your child stay healthy and prevent the spread of viruses by reminding them of our simple 1-2-3 message which is in line with the Federal Government’s recommendations for respiratory and hand hygiene.

This year Sneezesafe and NPS MedicineWise have partnered to provide simple, sound advice to young children on how to help prevent the spread of the common cold. NPS MedicineWise is an independent, not-for-profit organisation providing information, tools and tips to help consumers make better decisions about their health.
