About Us
Who we are.
Research has shown that one of the most difficult transitions young people make is that from Secondary School to the workforce.
The Streetsmart Handbook is a practical life guide designed to help prepare today’s youth for life after school. Since 2002, our handbooks have supported secondary schools, youth organisations and teenagers
across Australia and New Zealand.

Neighbourhood Watch Australasia & Streetsmart Handbooks
The Streetsmart Handbooks’ aim is to assist teenagers and their families and caregivers, by providing contemporary information on a wide range of subjects. This includes information sourced from advice from experts, covering subjects such as cyber bullying, mental health, body positivity, healthy living, the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and much more!
Working Together
NHWA actively works in partnership to create safe, interconnected, and inclusive communities, where people are able to feel empowered, informed and engaged with one another, and with their local police and other community authorities.
The Streetsmart Handbook is a continuation of NHWA’s active participation in ensuring safe communities for all.
