SA Health is running colouring in and poster competitions for primary school aged children to recognise Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (18-24 November) this year.  The competitions are aimed at educating about the safe use of antimicrobials (antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic medications).

South Australian schools of the winning children will receive a book pack valued at $150 – so it is a great incentive to get involved!

The Colouring Competition is suitable for children under 8 years of age and the Poster Competition is suitable for 8 years and over. If schools would like a bulk number of copies printed please contact HealthAntibio@sa.gov.au.  For more information and access to resources, visit: www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/AAW
