Project Director, Road Safety Strategy, Department of Transport

In 2017, two Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards proudly went to Australia.

One was awarded to The Australasian Road Safety College (ACRS) for Road Safety Advocacy, while the other was jointly awarded to VicRoads and Safe System Solutions Pty Ltd for their joint programme, “Making Roads Motorcycle-Friendly”.

To celebrate, we’ve created an opportunity to listen and participate in a Q&A with guest speaker Dr Johan Strandroth, the overseer of the development of Victoria’s next Road Safety Strategy. Johan will be joined by a panel of industry leaders in Science and Road Safety, containing valuable insights into the development of Safer Roads and the future Road Safety Strategy.

Meet and exchange ideas with others seeking to create better roads for our communities, gain valuable industry insights and improve your knowledge on current and future Road Safety Strategy. Ensure you attend, and be part of the change.
