Safe system demonstration project involving an indigenous community : literature review and methods.

In 2009, the Indigenous Road Safety Working Group received support from Austroads to fund a demonstration project — a Safe System audit of an Indigenous community in Australia. The project comprised several phases: Part A. Develop methodology: literature reviews of the Safe System and successful Indigenous community road safety programs, or like programs; recommendations for informing Indigenous communities of the project; and, development of selection criteria for the demonstration community. Part B. Undertake a Safe System audit and identify initiatives: engage with successful community and conduct audit; identify key road safety needs. Part C. Prepare an implementation plan: involve the demonstration community and key stakeholder; make recommendations to ensure sustainability; and develop an evaluation framework. This report Literature Review and Methods presents the literature review and methodology components of Part A and Part B. The Safe System Audit and implementation plan were undertaken and developed together with the demonstration community and are reported together in the co-authored companion report Audit and Implementation Plan.
