Road Safety Commission

What Road Safety Commission does

Road Safety Commission is a statutory authority of the Government of Western Australia, established in 2015 and headquartered in East Perth, that operates as the state's road safety policy and enforcement agency. The Commission combines automated enforcement through safety cameras (speed, red light, mobile, school zone, and near-miss cameras) with public education campaigns, behavioral programs targeting speeding, seatbelt compliance, mobile phone distraction, fatigue, and drink/drug driving, and integration with the WA driver's licensing and demerit point systems. Its core technology stack consists of road safety camera infrastructure and data analytics for road trauma statistics, complemented by digital platforms including Get Streetwise (interactive safety education), Everyday Safer (behavioral campaign hub), and Wheelmates (heavy vehicle awareness).

The Commission serves all road users across Western Australia, with a primary customer segment of general road users and additional focus on school communities, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, eRideables users, novice drivers, regional drivers, and parents and carers. The agency is funded through the Road Trauma Trust Account via state government appropriations and does not charge citizens directly for services. Its only direct customer is the Western Australian Government, with strategic partnerships extending to the Western Australian Police Force (enforcement), Royal Perth Hospital (trauma-informed campaigns), the Road Safety Council (advisory), and local government authorities (community delivery). The Commission operates a multi-channel public communication model including social media, government websites, media releases, and structured public campaigns such as National Road Safety Week, 'Seatbelts Save Lives', and the 'No one plans a crash' series.

Broad incumbents

• Transport for NSW: New South Wales state transport authority that combines road safety enforcement, licensing, and infrastructure planning. Most directly comparable Australian state peer to the RSC, though broader in scope (includes public transit and motoring services beyond road safety).
• VicRoads (Department of Transport and Planning Victoria): Victorian road and licensing authority delivering road safety campaigns, speed enforcement coordination, and driver education. Comparable Australian state agency with similar statutory role in road safety regulation and public education.
• Department of Transport and Main Roads (Queensland): Queensland's state transport authority managing road safety programs, driver licensing, and infrastructure. Analogous Australian state-level agency delivering safety camera programs and behavioural campaigns.
• NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi: New Zealand's national land transport agency overseeing road safety, speed management, and driver licensing. Comparable in mandate to reduce road trauma through enforcement and education, though operating at national rather than state level.
• National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): US federal agency responsible for road safety behaviour, vehicle standards, and crash data. Comparable in behavioural campaign and statistical analysis function, though operates federally and includes vehicle regulation outside RSC's mandate.

Direct peers

• Road Safety Authority (Ireland): Ireland's dedicated road safety statutory agency focused on driver education, behavioural change campaigns, and road safety standards. Closest pure-play direct peer to the RSC in terms of dedicated mandate and campaign-led delivery model.
• Western Australia Police Force: Parent-enabling agency under which the RSC operates as a business unit. WA Police deliver the on-road enforcement, double-demerit policing, and incident response that complement RSC's camera and campaign work; the closest operational peer in terms of shared road safety mandate.

Others

• Main Roads Western Australia: Western Australia's road infrastructure authority responsible for planning, building, and maintaining the state's road network. Adjacent peer within the same jurisdiction; RSC focuses on behavioural safety while Main Roads owns the infrastructure layer that RSC's enforcement data informs.
