This is a new approach to regional road safety that we aim to eventually implement in other regions across SA and Australia. 

Join us and have your say. Let us know what the road safety issues are and give us your ideas of how to fix them. 

WE WANT FULL LOCAL ENGAGEMENT FROM ACROSS THE SOUTH EAST REGION OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

 

The issue;

Over two thirds of deaths on Australian roads occur in regional locations.

Volunteer Regional Road Safety Groups have struggled in recent years, with the majority of  these groups folding.

Direct support to the groups has been limited.

 

Our aims and objectives;

We aim to engage directly with all stakeholders including Emergency Services, Councils, businesses and local residents. It’s the local people that know the local issues.

The Alliance will build a culture of collaboration. Solutions found to be successful in one town can be applied to other towns.

By working as a collective, more ideas, more solutions and better outcomes across the region will be achieved.

Local people will have more ownership regarding implementation of solutions.

We aim to have all Council areas represented by at least (but not restricted to) one  Council Member, member of the CFS / Police / Ambulance Service as well as members of the general public from across the region.

 

Support;

The Get Home Safe Foundation will provide intellectual support as well as financial support through sponsorships.

We aim to encourage financial support from all levels of Government as well as local Councils and businesses.

All funds gained will be injected back into community road safety.

There will be an annual Alliance conference.

Governance;

 

We aim to encourage members of the Alliance to form a committee that will meet regularly and be self-governed regarding finances etc.
