National Road Safety Week 2026

 

Free Resources to Help You Make an Impact

Every year, Australians come together for National Road Safety Week 2026—a powerful initiative dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging safer choices on our roads.

Running from 17 to 24 May 2026, this important week is a reminder that road safety is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re an individual, a business, or a school, there are simple and meaningful ways to get involved.

Why National Road Safety Week Matters?

Behind every road incident is a real person—a loved one, a colleague, a friend. National Road Safety Week shines a spotlight on these human stories, encouraging all Australians to reflect on their behaviour and make safer decisions every time they’re on the road.

Through daily themes and community engagement, the week addresses critical issues such as:

  • Speed awareness

  • Driver distraction

  • Fatigue

  • Protecting vulnerable road users

The message is clear: small actions can save lives.
