As thousands of school-leavers prepare to head overseas for Schoolies, a new campaign from DrinkWise and the Australian Government’s Smartraveller is urging young Australians to celebrate safely.
New research shows many teens are already making more mindful choices around alcohol, but awareness of serious risks like methanol poisoning remains low.
The campaign is also encouraging parents to have more open conversations about safety before their teens head off.
