Injury of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people due to transport, 2001-02 to 2005-06.

Canberra: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare

This publication provides a summary of injury, both fatal and non-fatal, of Indigenous people in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland due to land transport accidents in the five-year-period 2001-02 to 2005-06. Transport injury comprises fatal and non-fatal injury due to road transport, railway, water and air transport. Road and rail transport includes traffic (occurring on a public road), non-traffic and unspecified transport. It does not include injury that has been recorded as due to intentional self harm assault or undetermined intent.

Results show that transport accidents accounted for over a quarter of Indigenous deaths with more than half of those being for car occupants. These results were very similar in the non-Indigenous population. Similarly, the majority of cases involving death and serious injury were male in both populations.

This report was produced in response to a recommendation made at the 2004 Indigenous Road Safety Forum to update the 2003 Indigenous road safety scoping study by the ARRB Group. It contains the results of a literature review and consultation process, and provides a comprehensive summary of initiatives addressing Indigenous road safety issues across Australia. It concludes with eleven recommendations for future research and identifies priority areas for Indigenous road safety.
