🗂️ Secure September Tip: Protect your identity, not just your belongings. 🔒

Crims aren't only interested in what's inside your home - your personal information can be just as valuable. 1 in 4 Australians are a victim of identity theft at some point of their life, costing individuals and businesses $3.1 billion each year.*

Before you toss old bills, bank statements, or other documents containing personal details into your wheelie bin, ask yourself:
❓ Have they been completely destroyed?

Shredding or securely destroying paperwork before disposal is a simple step that can help protect you from identity theft.

This Secure September, take a few extra minutes to safeguard your personal information. It's a small habit that can make a big difference.

🌼 Secure September spring cleaning tip: Give your home a lived-in look.

🔒 Spring cleaning isn't just about freshening up your home - it's also a great time to think about home security.

When you're heading out for the day, consider leaving a pair of shoes by the front door or a few every day, low-value items in view.

These small details can help create the impression that someone may only be out and about and will be back home soon.

It's a simple habit that works alongside other security measures like locking your doors and windows and keeping entry points secure.

This Secure September, add a few home security checks to your spring cleaning checklist and help make your home a less attractive target for opportunistic crims → https://crimsafe.com.au/secureseptember/
