A major community event is being held in Mackay today to support child protection and wellbeing, with hundreds of families expected to participate. The initiative aims to bring residents together while promoting safer environments for children and stronger community connections.

The event is focused on community participation and encouraging residents to contribute to child safety and wellbeing. Organisers are expecting strong local involvement, with families and community groups invited to take part.

The initiative comes as communities across Queensland continue to emphasise the importance of protecting children and ensuring families have access to appropriate support. Community events can provide opportunities for residents to connect with local organisations and learn more about available services.

Organisers are encouraging Mackay residents to participate and show their support for creating safer communities. The event is designed to be family-friendly and focused on positive community engagement.
