Currently around 300 people are seriously injured and killed on Tasmanian roads each year. Our long-term goal for road safety in Tasmania is to have a ‘Safe System’ of zero serious injuries and deaths on our roads.
The Towards Zero – Tasmanian Road Safety Strategy 2017–2026 (Towards Zero Strategy) works towards this goal by setting a target for the annual number of serious injuries and deaths on Tasmanian roads to fewer than 200 by 2026.
The 2022-23 CRSG funding round will be open from Friday 23 September 2022 to Monday 24 October 2022.
The CRSG Program Guidelines are available in both PDF and Word accessible formats.
To be eligible for the grant applicants must:
Eligible applicants include:
CRSG funding is available in two categories: small grants and medium/large grants. Other more substantial grants may be considered by special application and must include a cash contribution from either the applicant’s own funds or from another funder of at least 20% of the amount being requested from the CRSG program.
Detailed project plans are required to demonstrate the community need, road safety benefit and proposed project expenditure.
Funding can cover the cost to develop and implement a project, including staff costs, but does not include general administration costs such as for internet, telephone, office space and travel.
Applications for this grant will be competitively assessed. Because the program has limited funding, not all eligible applicants will be successful.
The Funding Assessment Panel has the discretion to fund a project partially or in full.
Please see the CRSG Program Guidelines for the application assessment criteria.
Grants up to $5 000 (plus GST) are available for local community road safety projects. Projects in this category aim to increase road safety awareness in specific community groups or locations.
A limited number of $35 000 (plus GST) road safety grants are also available. This category applies to more significant projects that involve a broader reach within the community.
Projects must address at least one of the Fatal Five road safety behaviours or road safety user groups in the categories below and demonstrate a community focus by addressing a local issue which is evidence-based and has community support. Proposed projects also need to meet the project assessment criteria outlined in the CRSG Program Guidelines.
The RSAC does not fund the purchase of Digital Message Boards (DMB). However, funding will be available for hire and transportation of DMBs that are incorporated into a larger scale project.
