Each year, around 50 children fall from windows or balconies in Australia. Many suffer serious injuries or worse, these falls can be fatal.

Children aged from one to five years are most at risk, as they are naturally curious, but lack the ability to recognise the danger. These falls often happen in the child's own home, and as the weather warms up families are more likely to leave windows and doors to balconies, open both during the day and at night.

There are legal requirements in place that apply to strata buildings in NSW and new buildings, designed to improve child safety.
