Last year, we were lucky to have P.A.R.T.Y. Program SA featured by The Post, a youth platform showcasing inspiring stories and initiatives across South Australia. 🙌

This video captures the heart of what we do, sharing powerful, real-life experiences to help young people make safer choices.

Once again, our team is on the road, delivering the P.A.R.T.Y. Program in Port Pirie 🙌

We feel so lucky to work alongside the amazing staff at Port Pirie Hospital, whose passion and commitment to supporting this program is evident every time we visit.

We absolutely love taking the program to regional communities.
We know that young people in regional areas can face a higher risk of serious injury or death on our roads, which makes this work even more important.

Real conversations. Real experiences. Real impact.

Thank you Port Pirie for having us again 💛

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter from the P.A.R.T.Y. Program SA team 🐣

We hope your weekend is filled with time with loved ones, a little rest, and maybe a bit too much chocolate.

As we head into the long weekend, we remind everyone to slow down, take your time, and think twice before getting behind the wheel.

The decisions you make on the road matter, not just for you, but for everyone around you.

Taking a moment could save a life 💛

"I remember Wednesday the 15th of November 2023 for all the wrong reasons. I was speaking on the 5AA breakfast show, about the impact of road trauma and its devastating effect. I reflected on how we have become desensitised to news reports of road fatalities and the harsh realities of each death hidden as just another number added to the 'road toll'.

I spoke about the crippling effect each fatality has on so many people - families, friends, work colleagues, teammates and other groups affected by the death of just one person. I also spoke about the impact road fatalities and serious injuries have on police and other emergency services workers, as well as our ambo's, nurses and doctors who treat the victims of road trauma.

It was a plea for everyone to take care, exercise vigilance, avoid bad decisions and not be complacent on our roads.

I didn't know then that my 18-year-old son was soon to become the 101st person to die on South Australian roads in 2023. On the Friday the 17th of November, just two days after pleading for more care on our roads, our family was devastated when Charlie was the victim of a ‘hit run’ collision.

We are forever different because of our loss, and we feel that loss EVERY - SINGLE - DAY. Me, his mum, his sister and brothers, his grandparents, uncles and aunts, his cousins, friends, workmates, footy teammates, and his school community - all forever changed by Charlie's death.

So far this year, road deaths have seen 28 families shattered by the loss of someone they loved. These people did not die in a “car accident" - these are not accidents. People are killed or seriously injured because of poor decision making, complacency, inattention or stupidity - they are all preventable.

So, if you are heading out on our roads this Easter, take a minute to think about consequences. It’s not just those who are killed or injured and their families who suffer – the person responsible must live with the life changing consequences of their actions – guilt, remorse, a criminal conviction, potential gaol time, fines and long-term licence disqualification.

Remind the people you love to take care and be careful. Dispel the notion that "it won't happen to me" because no one leaves home expecting to be involved in a fatal or serious injury collision.

You may have tuned out or ignored the pleas of Police Commissioner Grant Stevens for more care on our roads, but maybe you will pause and reflect on the words of Grant Stevens, a dad who misses his son."

Last month, we attended the SA Community Achievement Awards, where the P.A.R.T.Y. Program SA was recognised as a Semi-Finalist!

It was such a special evening hearing about the many inspiring people and initiatives making a real difference across our community.

We feel honoured to be recognised alongside such impactful work, and grateful to be part of a community so committed to creating positive change.

Thank you to the organisers for a wonderful event, and to everyone who continues to support community achievements!

The P.A.R.T.Y. team have been back in Mount Gambier this week, working alongside incredible local hospital staff, paramedics, Country Fire Service and SAPOL 👏

Across three days, three schools have taken part, prioritising this powerful experience for their students.

One powerful component was hearing from Jack, who shares his lived experience of surviving a triple fatal crash in Mt Gambier. His courage in telling his story leaves a lasting impact on every student in the room.

We are so grateful to the local hospital for hosting us and schools for their continued support in helping deliver these life-saving messages.

We were honoured to be invited by SAPOL to take part in the Safer Journeys event in Mount Gambier 🚗💛

A huge thank you to the SAPOL Road Safety Team for delivering such a powerful and well-run two-day event, reaching hundreds of students across the Limestone Coast.

Students heard firsthand the real and lasting impact of road trauma, with presenters sharing deeply personal stories of loss and heartbreak.

P.A.R.T.Y. was proud to be included as a guest presenter alongside such an important initiative, supporting SAPOL in their ongoing work to influence safer attitudes and decisions on our roads.

An incredible couple of days making a real difference in the lives of young people, thank you SAPOL for having us!
