Overview

The Healthy roads project aims to develop an advocacy framework that will support the work conducted by the Office of Road Safety in reducing deaths and serious injuries on Western Australian roads.

Through this advocacy framework the project aims to:

• develop an understanding of the need for road safety advocacy among public health organisations and the community
• foster capacity building and knowledge sharing for road safety advocacy among public health organisations, the community and all levels of government
• establish partnerships across a range of public health organisations to develop and deliver advocacy in support of road safety.

The Healthy roads project is funded through the Road Trauma Trust Account and delivered by the Public Health Advocacy Institute of Western Australia.
