We’re excited to announce a new partnership with Deafness Forum Australia that will see the expansion of our existing Shifting Gears: Farm Safety Resources for Educators with the addition of a brand-new topic: Hearing Health and Protection in Farming.
Launching in January 2026, just in time for the new school year, this important topic will equip young people with the knowledge and tools to protect their hearing in noisy agricultural environments. From tractors to chainsaws, many everyday farm activities pose risks to hearing – yet awareness and prevention strategies are often overlooked.
This new module builds on our commitment to improving health and safety outcomes for the next generation of farmers. Together with Deafness Forum Australia, we’re making it easier for educators to bring practical, engaging, and evidence-based learning into the classroom.
Stay tuned for more updates as we move closer to launch!
