Always wear your safety gear. Belt up.
A concerning emerging issue of young regional males choosing not to wear a seatbelt has sparked the State Government to launch the Always wear your safety gear. Belt up campaign. The campaign uses comparisons to highlight the significant risk of not wearing a seatbelt. The scenarios involving a cricket player, firefighter, and a tradesperson, aims to encourage the viewer to question their reluctance to wear a seatbelt which is just as, if not more, risky than the scenarios presented.
The campaign will run across regional media, including television, on-demand TV, radio, digital and social media, and roadside billboards.
