The Stand-Up Project (SUP) has been officially recognised in the national Anti-Bullying Rapid Review conducted by the Australian Federal Government — a landmark step toward reshaping how schools handle bullying. This recognition aligns with the recent mention of The Stand-Up Project recognised in federal anti-bullying review, further highlighting the program’s growing national impact.

This recognition underscores SUP’s innovative, student-led model for preventing bullying in schools, which empowers students, teachers, and parents to take collective responsibility for safe and inclusive school communities.

By placing students at the center, providing hands-on anti-bullying workshops, leadership training, and school-wide wellbeing initiatives, the program demonstrates how peer-led “upstander” training can build empathy, strengthen school culture, and reduce harmful behavior over the long term.

This recognition isn’t just symbolic — with backing from state and territory Education Ministers and dedicated federal funding, the Review sets the stage for a national plan to make anti-bullying efforts in schools more systematic and effective.

Whether you’re an educator, school leader, or parent, this marks a promising shift toward safer, kinder, and more connected school environments, where preventing bullying in schools becomes a shared mission.
