Austroads Guide to Road Safety Part 7: Road Safety Management

The Austroads Guide to Road Safety Part 7: Road Safety Strategy and Management has been updated to Edition 3.0, published April 2026.

AGRS Part 7 supports Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions to reach their national targets of zero road deaths and serious injuries by 2050 (and interim targets by 2030). The Guide outlines international best practice and research on road safety management, providing an integrated framework for coordinated strategic planning across all pillars of the Safe System.

Edition 3.0 includes minor editorial amendments throughout to align with national and international best practice. Most significantly, it introduces a new Section 2: Road Safety Management - the focus of this webinar.

Section 2 delivers targeted, actionable guidance for the people who most shape road safety outcomes at a systems level: senior government executives, senior road safety leaders, road safety delivery partners, and elected officials. It addresses the leadership, institutional, and management conditions that enable, or constrain, effective road safety performance, providing a practical resource for those responsible for driving change at the highest levels.

During this webinar, we explore the key elements of the new Section 2.
