SEAT at schools

There is no cure for a spinal cord injury, which is why the Association is so committed to prevention and raising awareness.

The Spinal Education Awareness Team (SEAT) program is an award-winning, highly respected injury prevention program which has been presented in Queensland schools for 25 years. SEAT is accredited by Education Queensland and has reached more than 1.5 million children state-wide.

SEAT is proudly sponsored by: BHP Billiton Cannington Mine, the Queensland Government, the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) and Medilaw.

Our volunteer presenters have all sustained spinal cord injuries and are passionate safety advocates. This year the team is aiming to visit 100,000 students at primary and secondary schools in metropolitan and regional areas.

SEAT presentations are suitable for all year levels from Prep through to Year 12. Each presentation is approximately 40 minutes in duration and can be tailored to suit your school’s requirements based on student numbers and number of sessions.

Thanks to the outstanding support of BHP Billiton Cannington Mine and our other sponsors, SEAT will continue to be offered at no cost until 30 June 2013!
