One person goes missing every 14 minutes in Australia; more than 38,000 every year. It also translates to one hundred Australians a day. While the majority are found within a relatively short period of time, hundreds remain missing long term.
MPAN humanises these missing loved ones with the 100 A DAY campaign, through free advertising space across a number of different platforms.
Missing persons is not solely a police issue; it is a community issue. MPAN’s work encourages a collaborative effort and the media, corporate sector, government, emergency services and collective public are increasingly willing and able to share the responsibility accordingly.
If you would like to support this campaign as an individual, or through work, please find downloadable posters below.
The campaign is the first of its kind in Australia, and we are seeking sponsorship for its continuation and growth.

We have been very fortunate to secure ongoing advertising space with APN, Fairfax, The Big Issue, ACE Radio, and AFL Footy Records amongst other networks.
