School road safety

The Department of Transport and Main Roads is committed to road safety around schools. The safety of children travelling to and from school – by walking or cycling, by school bus or in a private vehicle - and the provision of safe crossings are a key priority for the department.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads has partnered with the Department of Education and Training to develop Road Safety Matters - a comprehensive curriculum-based road safety education teaching and assessment package for Prep to Year 9.

Information about road safety education for high school students can be found in the student driver education section.
