Last month Njernda Aboriginal Corporation Youth Services and Echuca Police partnered to promote bike and electrical scooter safety.
Aimed at building stronger relationships and positive engagement within the community, Njernda Youth Services provided bike helmets to Echuca Police.
Rather than issuing fines to those not wearing a helmet, officers took the opportunity to educate riders, offering free helmets and providing additional support and care – especially to young community members who may be unaware of the risks or simply unable to afford proper safety gear.
Njernda Youth Services and Echuca Police hope this initiative will serve as a meaningful step toward fostering trust, understanding, and shared responsibility for safer roads and stronger community connections.
