Contributing to the reduction of death and serious injury on Australian roads by working to enhance the national implementation of effective road safety measures.
Word from the chair
“Road crashes continue to cause significant human trauma, resulting in about 1,400 deaths and 32,000 hospital admissions each year. The annual cost to the national economy is estimated at around $27 billion. This cost is unacceptable when we know there are steps we can take to further improve vehicle design, driver behaviour and infrastructure that will result in fewer road crashes.”
