Around one in four Australian children are affected by bullying at school.


As a parent, it can be hard to know what to do if your child is a victim of bullying or if they're the bully themselves.

Experts have explained what parents can do to support their children and end bullying. Make sure that the school is aware of what's going on, and work alongside them. Whether your child has been bullied or has bullied, it might be good for them to talk to a counsellor or the Kids Helpline.

As a parent, you can also find more information on bullying via the Kids Helpline and Parentline, which can provide interpreters.
