    I’m Taking the Idle Off Pledge

    Every day, cars sit with engines running while parked - this is called idling. It might seem harmless, but idling creates concentrated pollution where children and families gather, especially at schools and childcare drop-off zones.

    This pollution can affect developing lungs, hearts, and brains, increasing the risk of asthma and other health problems.

    By turning engines off whenever it’s safe, we can reduce unnecessary exposure and keep our air cleaner and healthier.

    I pledge to turn my engine off when waiting, especially near schools and childcare centres, protecting children’s health and keeping the air cleaner for everyone.

  • Sign the Open Letter: Put kids safety ahead of politics.

    The government’s own National Climate Risk Assessment confirms what parents across Australia already know: climate change is putting our kids and communities in danger.

    As parents, we don’t take chances with our kids safety - whether it’s buckling a seatbelt, fitting a car seat, or being sun smart, we act on the best advice. We expect our government to do the same. That means shaping climate policy with science, not politics, and committing to net zero by 2035 with strong pollution cuts this decade. Anything less puts our kids' future at risk.

    Dear Prime Minister and Ministers,

    As parents, carers, grandparents and community members, we call on you to put the safety of our children at the centre of climate policy. The National Climate Risk Assessment highlights the escalating dangers of extreme heat, bushfires, floods, and other climate impacts. Just as parents act on expert advice to protect their children, we expect our government to act on the best available science. We urge you to adopt science-led climate policy that cuts pollution at the pace required, protects our communities, and gives every child the chance to grow up safe and healthy. Their safety cannot and should not wait. 

    Sincerely,
    Australian parents, carers and grandparents and family members.

    Protect our kids - No New Coal and Gas

    Our kids deserve clean air, safe homes, and a better tomorrow. But new coal and gas projects threaten their future.

    Right now, fossil fuel expansion is putting Australian families at risk - polluting the air our children breathe, driving up energy costs, and making extreme weather events worse.

    We can choose a different future. One where families have healthy, affordable energy and a safe climate to grow up in.

    It starts with raising our voices and showing up for what matters. Every voice strengthens the call for real action.

    Sign the petition to demand NO NEW COAL AND GAS and protect what we love.

    👉 Stand up for clean air and a healthy future. Order a free yard sign here – every sign on a lawn is a signal of hope and a reminder that parents and carers everywhere are ready to protect what we love.

    To Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Chris Bowen MP - Minister for Climate and Energy, and Murray Watt - Minister for the Environment,

    I am deeply concerned about the continued expansion of coal and gas projects in Australia. New fossil fuel projects threaten our children's future - polluting the air they breathe, contributing to rising household costs, and accelerating the climate crisis.

    I call on you to commit to:
    🚫  No new coal and gas projects in Australia
    🌱  Investment in clean, affordable energy that benefits all families
    🏡  A safe climate for all kids to thrive

    Our kids deserve better. Later is too late. Act now.
