Imagine you've just moved to Australia and meet a group of people discussing various kinds of emergencies and how they manage safety in these situations — and even better, one of the people in the group speaks your language!

The Prepare and Be Safe website recreates this setting by guiding people through topics using word games, social-style content, videos and content quizzes in four languages: English, Dari, Arabic and Simplified Chinese.

Developed in consultation and codesign with the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria's (ECCV) wide metropolitian and regional network, the design and development of the platform took into account how information was delivered, how people wanted to be spoken to and how useful the information was for real-life application. Content that would have otherwise reached users in a booklet format is now accessible through in-language guided vocabulary and knowledge games, social-style digestible topics, community video stories and a Practise Calling 000 experience using voice recognition to guide users through what to expect in an emergency call.  that feel familiar and accessible to users of all ages and technical literacy.

The existing content was reimagined to be more accessible to audiences at home, or in a guided workshop, who otherwise would have interacted with the content in a booklet form in English, which was reported to feel overwhelming and alienating at times.
