Abstract

Road injury is a major cause of mortality and morbidity amongst Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The National Aboriginal Road Safety Working Group has acknowledged that there is a lack of information about the circumstances of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s experience of road trauma. To combat this, an internet-based clearing house is being developed to effectively share information about Indigenous road safety amongst stakeholders and the community. In September 2003 Western Australia offered to coordinate the development of this project. A steering committee of representatives from Western Australia, Northern Territory, South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau drew up a project proposal and appointed a contractor to develop the resource.
