research.qut.edu.au/carrsq

The Queensland Road Safety Awards recognise and honour the outstanding efforts of individuals and groups who have initiated projects or programs to improve safety on Queensland roads.

The Awards are a joint initiative of the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety – Queensland (CARRS-Q) and RACQ, and are also actively supported by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Police Service and the Motor Accident Insurance Commission.

NOMINATE A ROAD SAFETY INITIATIVE

You may nominate yourself or others for a Queensland Road Safety Award. Nominated initiatives must be current or have taken place in Queensland in the past 3 years.

Awards will be presented in the following categories:

• Community• Schools• Industry and Business• Innovation • Local Government• State Government• Fleet/Occupational Safety• Young Person

Entries received must nominate one category only. This category should directly relate to the organisation or individual responsible for the development of the initiative, not the demographic or audience to which it is aimed. For example, a Local Council who is nominating an initiative which runs in Primary Schools nominates in the Local Government category, not the Schools category.

An Outstanding Achievement Award may be presented to the overall winner.

The overall themes of the judging criteria are:

The judges will accept road safety initiatives designed and implemented by organisations owned and run by Queensland State and Local Government, however these initiatives must go above and beyond the organisation’s core activities.

QUEENSLAND ROAD SAFETY WEEK

This event will occur during Queensland Road Safety Week 26-30 August 2019 and is an opportunity for all Queenslanders to get involved in making our roads safer.

Communities, schools and workplaces are encouraged to support the week by hosting local events or sharing road safety information among staff, students, colleagues, family and friends.

Why not host a morning tea at work or have a free dress day at school? Perhaps invite the local Adopt-a-Cop to speak to students, or host a road safety quiz in your office.

You can share a personal story, suggest a road safety tip, talk to your kids, family and friends about staying safe, or make a pledge to improve a single road behaviour.
