Meet Janet Grima, Bully Zero CEO, as she explores why bullying persists in today’s complex world - and what we can do to tackle it together.

Our Story

For over a decade Bully Zero has worked tirelessly towards this vision. A world where teenagers are met with empathy and respect at school and online – not a confidence-crushing tyrant. A world where workplaces feel welcoming and joyous – not full of anguish.

Bully Zero is Australia's leading organisation delivering face to face programs on cyber safety, bullying prevention, wellbeing and resilience. Developed with experts - teachers, counsellors, social workers, psychologists, people with lived experience, and neuroscientists - our programs empower schools, community groups, sporting clubs and workplaces nationwide.

Bullying in Australia

Around one in four Year 4 to Year 9 Australian students (27%) reported being bullied every few weeks or more1. Schools and online platforms are the most common places it occurs. Peer onlookers are present in 85% of bullying incidents at school, playing a significant role in either perpetuating or stopping the behaviour2. Bullying has been shown to stop within 10 seconds when onlookers take positive action2.
