The Federal Government has called for public feedback to inform the National Road Safety Strategy, as part of a mid-term review.
This is an independent review that will assess the effectiveness of current road safety initiatives, now that the government is halfway through delivering the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-30.
The review will also identify emerging challenges, assess the current and arising factors impacting road safety, and develop practical recommendations to support the strategy’s next action plan.
The government has said that Australia’s road networks are critical to our way of life.
But more needs to be done to prevent the tragic loss of life on our roads which has devastating and wide-reaching impacts on families, friends and communities every year – nationwide.
As the population grows, communities change, and habits evolve, so too does the road safety environment.
This review will help the Federal Government learn from and revisit how it approaches road safety right across Australia, with the public invited to have their say by 11:59pm (AEDT) Tuesday, 25 November 2025.
It forms part of the government’s joint commitment with all states and territories to act on road safety, including by funding local roads, road safety initiatives, and data collection.
Federal Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories, Kristy McBain, said that road safety must be a shared responsibility.
“We want to make sure that every time someone uses our roads, they make it to their destination safely. Whether it’s a truckie on a long-haul journey, or a parent picking up the kids from school,” McBain said.
“This is an important opportunity to provide feedback and have your say on the National Road Safety Strategy.
“Your feedback will help us better understand the current state of road safety as well as areas for improvement.”
