On 14 October 2002, Cabinet approved the establishment of a Road Safety Advisory Council (RSAC). The RSAC is chaired by Sir Eric Neal AC CVO, and includes representatives of the RAA, the Centre for Automotive Safety Research, the Transport Workers Union, and local government, together with representatives from the South Australian Police, the Motor Accident Commission, and the portfolios of Transport, Education and Human Services. The RSAC recommends road safety initiatives to the Road Safety Ministerial Council, which is chaired by The Minister for Transport, and includes the Ministers for Health and Education, along with the Treasurer (and Minister for Police) and the Attorney General. Reducing Road Trauma in South Australia - Possible Initiatives 2004-2010 is a discussion paper that was released by the Road Safety Advisory Council to seek community and stakeholder feedback to help prepare a Phase 2 road safety package. It contains 160 suggested initiatives and provided an opportunity for both comments on the initiatives and for other ideas to be suggested. (Author/publisher)
