About Bully Zero

Bully Zero is Australia’s leading organisation delivering face to face programs by qualified facilitators.

From cyber safety to bullying prevention, our programs are designed to make an  impact in schools, community groups, sporting clubs and workplaces across the country.

In the decade since we began, bullying has grown more pervasive and complex, evolving alongside technology and society. And so have we. Our passion and commitment for creating a safer, kinder world has only grown stronger. Today our collaborations span global corporations, the Federal Government and influential community leaders.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is clear and unwavering: to support anyone affected by bullying, to prevent bullying before it starts and to eradicate it wherever it occurs. We want every person to feel safe, respected and empowered to be their authentic self.

We give voice to the voiceless. We provide belonging to those who feel left out. We champion inclusion for those who feel different. We turn guidelines into action in schools and workplaces, building cultures of respect. And we empower the fearful to find their courage.

Our founding story

Forged from Pain, driving change

Bully Zero was born from heartbreak. The unimaginable pain of a parent losing a child to suicide, caused by bullying.

Allem Halkic was the cherished only son of Ali and Dina. Energetic and happy, he grew up in a loving home. Yet in February 2009, after enduring relentless and hateful cyberbullying, Allem took his life. His death marked a watershed moment in Australia, being the first time suicide caused by bullying was ruled a crime.

Determined to ensure no other family would endure such pain, Ali united with others who shared his vision for change.  Together they founded Bully Zero in 2013, a movement driven by compassion and fuelled by Allem’s legacy.

Today, Bully Zero stands as a powerful force for kindness, courage and prevention, ensuring Allem’s story serves as a catalyst for shaping a world free from bullying.

Ali was recently featured in the Herald Sun, you can read more about his story here
