Abstract

In Western Australia, Aboriginal people comprise about three percent of the total population, but represent nine percent of those killed and eight percent of those hospitalised following road crashes. In response to this over representation of Aboriginal people, the Road Safety Council established the Aboriginal Road Users Taskforce in April 2000 with the aim of providing a strategic direction on Aboriginal road safety issues in Western Australia. The Taskforce has developed an implementation manual that seeks to outline the issues and circumstances contributing to this over representation and help identify practical strategies to minimise deaths and injuries involving Aboriginal people on Western Australian roads. Based on available evidence and feedback from the public/stakeholder consultation, the manual highlights and addresses three major road safety concerns for Aboriginal people. These include: pedestrian safety; unsafe travel (non-use of restraints, overcrowding of vehicles and fatigue); and drink driving.
