Our mission is bigger than ever, and we’re looking for an enthusiastic, highly organised Children’s Safety Presenter to join our team and deliver our important safety message to children.

About the team

Ditto’s Keep Safe Adventure program offers personal safety education for children in early years to lower primary, fully aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework and the Australian Curriculum.
