Teaming up to drive real change

Road Safety Specialist
How do we help make strong communities? We invest in partnerships that help people get where they want to go.
Whether it’s supporting you go to school or undertake more study, get a job, learn to drive, participate in local community activities or stay safe on our roads – here are just some of the ways we are helping you get where you want to go.
Major Partners
Our three investment areas
- Safe and accessible transport
Supporting activities that promote safe driving, prevent injury on the roads, and ensure people can connect, through transport, with work, family and the wider community.
Learn more about our driver training programs
- Local communities
Investing in local communities (communities located directly along our road network) and partnerships that support causes important to residents and contribute to community and financial wellbeing, and / or help mitigate the impact of large infrastructure projects on the environment.
We offer community grants to support local communities
- Education and training
Making it easier for people to access the education and training they need to get ahead. This includes supporting kids to stay at school, providing vocational opportunities for people experiencing social or financial difficulties and investing in activities to encourage diversity in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
