✈️🌏 Heading overseas with the kids? There are a few things they need to know before take-off.

There’s nothing quite like seeing the world through your children’s eyes — the excitement, the wonder and those little “wow!” moments you’ll talk about for years. ❤️

But when you’re travelling somewhere unfamiliar, a little preparation can go a very long way.

What should your child do if they become separated from you in a crowded airport? Who can they safely ask for help? What should they know about unfamiliar food and water? And what important documents should you have with you?

From travel insurance and health checks to emergency contact cards and staying safe in busy places, these 7 simple travel rules can help prepare your children for the unexpected.

Because you can’t plan for every “what if?” — but you can make sure your kids know what to do when it matters most. 💛

🌏 A little preparation now means more freedom to relax, explore and enjoy the adventure together.

When we sit down to watch the footy with our kids, we want them to see the game — not a constant stream of messages telling them that betting is part of it. 🏉❤️

And during our current National Child Protection Week, running runs 6–12 September 2026, it’s a timely question for parents to ask: what are our children seeing, hearing and learning from the world around them?

For many Australian families, gambling has become increasingly woven into the sporting experience — from betting odds and promotions to gambling brands appearing alongside the teams and players children know and love.

But that’s about to change.

From 2027, new gambling advertising reforms will change what families see around live sport. While gambling messages won’t disappear completely, the changes are designed to reduce children’s exposure to wagering advertising during sport.

This year’s National Child Protection Week theme, “Every Conversation Matters: Shifting Conversation to Action,” is a powerful reminder that protecting children isn’t only about what we do when something goes wrong. It’s also about the everyday environments we create around them — and the messages they absorb along the way.

So, what will your family actually notice when Footy 2027 arrives? What gambling messages might kids still see? And how can parents help children recognise the sales pitch behind them?

We break down what Australian parents need to know.
