Be Crocwise around the water—communication resources

The Queensland Government’s Be Crocwise communication activities form part of the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation’s broader Be Crocwise education and public safety program.

Be Crocwise aims to encourage residents and visitors in crocodile habitat areas to adopt Be Crocwise behaviours before visiting the water, and when they’re around the water, to reduce their risk of a crocodile attack.

We’ve developed a range of communication resources to help local governments, tourism operators, community groups and other interested parties to share and promote Be Crocwise public safety and education messages through their channels and networks.

Shareable communication resources include:

• social media content and graphics
• website / newsletter / online content.

General Be Crocwise resources

Living in or visiting areas where there is crocodile habitat means understanding how to Be Crocwise when you’re around the water.

Crocodiles can be found in any waterway including rivers, creeks, beaches, oceans and waterholes.

Crocs are apex predators that use ambush tactics, such as lying and waiting at the water’s edge, to capture their prey. Crocodiles can stay under the water for hours. Just because you can’t see a croc, doesn’t mean there isn’t one close by.

So, if you are planning to go fishing, boating, camping, swimming or sightseeing in the great outdoors, knowing how to Be Crocwise can reduce your risk of a croc attack.
