Catalogue of road safety training opportunities
Snapshot as of November 2024
As part of Austroads’ Charting a Path to Zero project, we conducted a comprehensive scan of road safety training programs available across Australia and New Zealand, with selected international courses included.
This catalogue of 60+ training courses serves as a practical resource to support capability development across the road safety and transport sector. It is particularly valuable for local governments and smaller jurisdictions seeking scalable, evidence-based training options, and is relevant to a wide range of stakeholders involved in strategy, implementation, and operational delivery.
Courses span a range of training areas including but not limited to:
- Road safety foundations and leadership
- Safe System principles and application
- Crash investigation and analysis
- Road safety auditing
- Road design and active transport
- Vulnerable road user safety
- School and community education programs
- Workplace and fleet safety
Note: These courses were available at the time of the scan. Please refer to provider websites for the most up-to-date schedules and enrolment information.
