Describe what road safety means to your organisation?

Australia Post has over 15,000 vehicles on our country’s roads on any given day.  Our people travel an average of 17 Million Kms per month.   As one of the largest fleet of vehicles in any Australian organisation we have a significant presence on our roads and have opportunities to be role models of exemplary road safety.   Poor road safety behaviours by our workforce could have a significant impact on our customers and the community.   We are also significantly impacted by the road safety behaviours present in the community.

Community road safety is one of our formal commitment s under the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
