What is strokesafe?

 PDF Print E-mail Enlarge text size Reduce text size
In 2004, the National Stroke Foundation developed strokesafe™, a public health campaign to address the escalating rise of stroke in Australia.  Over recent years, the rate of stroke has increased due to an ageing population and it is now the second biggest killer in the community.  

strokesafe™ was developed in response to research showing that many people did not know the signs of stroke or how to prevent one.

The strokesafe™ campaign promotes awareness of stroke and how people can make themselves safe from stroke, through mass media advertising, resources, information and events for the community, National Stroke Week events and activities and the strokesafe™ awards program.

The campaign aims to get the message out to the community that stroke is treatable and preventable.
