4-Week Personal Safety Program

How confident are you that you'd know what to do if something went wrong?

Personal safety isn't about living in fear or expecting danger around every corner. It's about being aware, trusting your instincts and knowing you have options when something doesn't feel right.
The Girl Aware 4-Week Personal Safety Program gives you the opportunity to go beyond a one-off workshop and really develop practical skills, awareness, and confidence over four progressive sessions.
Across the four weeks, you'll learn how to recognise potential danger earlier, create distance, use your voice, and respond confidently when something doesn't feel right. You'll also progressively learn practical self-defence and escape techniques, including how to protect yourself if you find yourself on the ground.
We'll also explore your own fears and personal safety goals, giving you the opportunity to recognise where you'd like to feel more confident and see how that changes throughout the program.
With plenty of practical training, real-life discussion and a supportive group of women learning alongside you, you'll have the opportunity to practise, ask questions and build on your skills each week.
No previous experience or level of fitness is required.

What you’ll learn:

Week 1 — Awareness & Mindset: Understand your personal fears, set your goals,
build situational awareness, recognise potential danger, create distance and learn to
use your voice with confidence.

Week 2 — Defend & Escape: Learn how to use your body effectively to protect
yourself, defend against strikes, create space and practise practical escape techniques.

Week 3 — Ground Defence: Learn practical techniques to protect yourself on the
ground, create space, defend yourself and safely get back to your feet.

Week 4 — Putting It All Together: Revisit and practise the skills you've learned, reflect
on your original goals and recognise how far you've come. We'll finish the program
with a presentation, morning tea and celebration.
