Safe Party Planner – Helping Teens and Parents Plan Safer Celebrations
Planning a party should be exciting, not stressful. The Safe Party Planner, developed in collaboration with the Nannup Local Drug Action Group (LDAG) and the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, is a practical tool designed to support teenagers and their parents in organising safe, enjoyable events.
This planner helps guide conversations around key party planning topics including:
- Invitations and guest lists
- Venue safety and supervision
- Alcohol and drug considerations
- Transport and emergency access
- Gatecrasher prevention and party rules
Whether you're hosting a birthday, graduation, or casual get-together, the Safe Party Planner ensures everyone knows what to expect and how to stay safe.

Let’s work together to create safe, inclusive and fun events for our young people.
