RoadSafe Otway is a community-based organisation dedicated to reducing road trauma and promoting road safety in the Colac Otway and Corangamite shires. With the generous support of Vic Roads and the Department of Transport and Planning, we have been able to develop and implement a range of impactful road safety programs. Since our establishment 30 years ago, we have made significant strides in creating awareness, educating the public, and fostering a culture of responsible and safe driving.
At RoadSafe Otway, our mission is simple yet crucial: to work tirelessly towards achieving a reduction in road trauma within our community. We firmly believe that every life lost or impacted by road accidents is preventable. By fostering a comprehensive and collaborative approach, we aim to create a safer road environment for everyone, whether they are drivers, passengers, cyclists, or pedestrians.
Through our diverse range of road safety programs, RoadSafe Otway addresses various aspects of road safety, focusing on education, awareness, and community engagement. Our programs encompass the following:
Educational Initiatives: We conduct interactive workshops and seminars in schools, colleges, and community centres to educate young drivers and road users about safe driving practices, responsible behaviour, and the potential consequences of reckless actions.
Community Outreach: We actively engage with local communities through road safety campaigns, public events, and awareness programs. Our aim is to instil a sense of ownership and responsibility within the community, empowering individuals to make informed decisions on the road.
Volunteer Opportunities: We believe in the power of collective action. RoadSafe Otway welcomes passionate individuals who wish to contribute their time and skills to support our mission. As a volunteer, you can assist with various activities, such as organising events, conducting awareness campaigns, or facilitating educational workshops.
