Free hiking preparation and safety checklists, designed to support better planning and decision-making before you leave home.
These checklists focus on how key hiking safety systems work together, including navigation, hydration, environmental protection, first aid, and emergency communication. They are flexible prompts, not rigid packing lists, and are intended to be adapted to conditions, distance, and experience.

National ExploreSafe Day is fast approaching: December 1, 2025
National ExploreSafe Day is a nationwide reminder that preparation and awareness are key to staying safe outdoors. Too often, a lack of planning, unsuitable gear, or poor decision-making leads to avoidable rescues and, at times, serious consequences. This day encourages every hiker, bushwalker, and explorer to build good habits that protect themselves and others.
Stay safe. Explore more. #ExploreSafe
