WestConnex school sessions

Brought to you by WestConnex, Youthsafe’s road safety presentations for young drivers and passengers help students navigate the road safety risks they face.

Injury is the leading cause of death and disability of young people in Australia. (AIHW 2011)

Young drivers constitute 15% of all licence holders while being almost 25% of annual road fatalities.
(Transport for NSW 2022)

On average, every 4 minutes and 24 seconds a young person is injured in an Australian workplace.
(Safe Work Australia 2013)

The rate of sports injury hospitalisations is highest in the 18-24 year age group. (AIHW: Kreisfeld et al. 2014)

Youthsafe partners to prevent the ‘accidental’ injury of young people (14-26 years) where they are most at risk: on roads, in workplaces, playing sport and socialising.

Our evidence-based resources and award-winning face-to-face and online training build the capability of young people and their key adult influencers to achieve safer outcomes.
