What is Day for Daniel?

Day for Daniel is Australia’s largest child safety education and awareness day.

This national day of action advocates for safer communities for children and empowering them to Recognise, React and Report when they feel unsafe.

The day is an initiative of the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, established in 2005 by Denise and Bruce Morcombe following the tragic abduction of their 13 year old son Daniel in December 2003.

‘Wear Red, Educate and Donate’ is the catch cry for Day for Daniel as we strive to have schools, early learning centres, businesses, and communities across Australia take action and conduct child safety activities in their local communities to help keep kids safe and raise vital funds to continue to create safety resources for
children around Australia.

In 2022, the theme for the day is brave conversations. We believe Day for Daniel is the perfect opportunity to start conversations around personal safety.
Day for Daniel is the Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s biggest fundraiser of the year. By fundraising, you can help us continue to provide our free education programs, resource development and support young victims of crime.
