About us

National Road Safety Week is an annual initiative created by the Safer Australian Roads and Highways (SARAH) Group and is supported by Governments, road safety organisations and businesses across the country and around the globe. From 5-12 May 2024, Commonwealth, State and Local Governments in partnership with road safety organisations, campaigners and businesses, shone a light on this deadly issue with events, safety meetings, memorials and displays of yellow ribbons - honouring those we have lost and pledging to make the roads safe for everyone 💛💛💛 Please visit www.roadsafetyweek.com.au to learn how you can get involved for 2025 and beyond!!! The Safer Australian Roads and Highways (SARAH) Group was established by Peter Frazer after his 23-year-old daughter Sarah was killed in a road crash on the Hume Highway in February 2012. Sarah’s car had broken down on her way to University and she had pulled into the emergency breakdown lane while waiting for assistance. Tragically, the breakdown lane was not built to the 3 metre Australian standard and while the tow-truck driver was hooking up her car, a passing truck side-swiped the broken-down car killing both Sarah and the tow-truck driver instantly. Every year more than 1,100 are killed and another 40,000 seriously injured on Australian roads. Traffic injury is the biggest killer of Australian children under 15 and the second-biggest killer of all Australians aged between 15 and 24. Most importantly it is preventable.
