​FORTEM Australia coordinated “Thank a First Responder Day” to show their gratitude as a grateful community, and to publicly recognise the work of our first responders.

Keeping with social distancing requirements, "Thank a First Responder Day" was this year in a digital platform (www.firstresponderday.com.au) with a website message board encouraging the community to leave notes, pictures, and videos of thanks for our first responder.

"​Thank a First Responder Day" is a day that belongs to the community and 
​FORTEM Australia wanted as many members of our community to participate;
to show just how much we, as a community, appreciate the work of our First Responders.

We encouraged you to create a video or social media post to thank first responders in your area and post it on the day.

​Don’t forget to check out the messages of thanks on your social channels from
2nd June 2020 with the hashtags
#TAFRD
#ThankaFirstResponder
