🔥 National Burns Awareness Month – June 2026
June is National Burns Awareness Month, an initiative of Kidsafe Australia aimed at helping Australians understand how to prevent burns and respond quickly with the correct first aid.
During winter, the risk of burns increases as we use heaters, hot water, cooking appliances, and hot drinks more often — especially around children.
🔥 Did you know?
Burns can happen in seconds, but quick first aid can make a big difference in reducing injury and improving recovery.
💧 Remember the simple first aid rule for burns:
Cool the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes.
Then cover loosely with a clean dressing and seek medical advice if needed.
✔ Keep hot drinks out of children’s reach
✔ Turn pot handles inward when cooking
✔ Test bath water temperature before use
✔ Keep heaters and hot surfaces safely guarded
Our pharmacy team is always here to help with first aid advice, burn care products, and health support for your family this winter.
Stay safe this winter and help spread awareness. ❄️🧯
