National Road Safety Strategy
Around 1,200 people are killed each year on Australia’s roads and about 40,000 are seriously injured. Even one death on our roads is one too many.
Australia is working towards the goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on our roads by 2050 (Vision Zero).

The Australian Government’s Office of Road Safety provides national facilitation and coordination to improve road safety outcomes.
Federal, state, territory and local government responsibilities for road safety.
