• Children under 6 should not use a full-size trampoline. Their bodies aren’t developed enough for the strong bouncing. A mini trampoline with a handrail may be safer.
• Only allow one child on the trampoline at a time.
• Supervise your child whenever they’re on a trampoline.
• Remove toys or other objects from the trampoline.
• Teach your child to climb down safely – no jumping off.
• Have at least 5 metres of space above the trampoline to avoid your child hitting their head on objects such as the clothesline or a tree.
• Do not allow somersaults. If your child is interested in flips, seek out professional groups that can teach them safety around gymnastics and body movements.
• Do not allow children to go underneath the trampoline mat, especially when someone else is jumping on it.
• Check for hazards nearby. Keep at least 2 metres clear around the trampoline and 5 metres above it.
• Inspect the trampoline regularly for wear, damage to nets or padding, and sun damage.
• If buying a trampoline:
  • make sure it meets ACCC Trampolines Guide
  • it should have a safety net on all sides and padding over the springs and frame
  • place it on flat, soft ground like grass.

If you are visiting a trampoline park, make sure you check prior to visiting if they are a member of the Australian Trampoline Park Association.
