Local governments are urged to apply for funding under the new National Road Safety Action Grants Program.
The Federal Government has committed $43.6 million over four years to the program to deliver infrastructure priorities outlined in the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-30 and National Road Safety Action Plan 2023-25.
The program offers funding across five key focus areas critical to reducing fatalities and serious injuries on our roads:
- Community Education and Awareness, including workplace road safety
- Vulnerable Road Users
- First Nations Road Safety
- Technology and Innovation
- Research and Data.
The program is open to a range of organisations including local, state and territory governments.
Applications for these first two streams are available until 25 August 2023.
