Road safety auditors are currently managed individually by state and territory road agencies, leading to variability in training, accreditation, registration, and continuing professional development requirements. Austroads members are committed to improving the consistency and quality of road safety audit practices and have agreed to implement a national framework to manage road safety auditors and road safety audit training providers. This webinar will provide an update on the national harmonisation project, including what has been agreed to regarding harmonisation and the deliverables and timelines for the operationalisation of the national framework.
