Improve Road Safety for CALD Communities

Join a Paid Research Opportunity to Improve Road Safety for CALD Communities!

We’re partnering with the Department of Transport and Planning to better understand the road safety challenges faced by CALD communities. Your experiences and insights are crucial in helping us identify effective strategies and support systems that can make our roads safer for everyone.

By participating in a 1-1.5 hour focus group, you’ll play a key role in shaping initiatives that provide vital information and practical resources tailored to the needs of non-English-speaking individuals. This is your chance to make a difference and ensure that everyone in our community can navigate the roads safely.

Qualifying participants will be reimbursed $100 for their contributions.

• Live in Victoria;

Your wellbeing matters
We understand that conversations about road safety in your community may be sensitive and, at times, difficult. This discussion about road safety will be general – that is, it will not be focused on any specific case or issue.

If participating in this focus group raises concerns we want you to know that you can withdraw from the conversation at any time and also that support is available. Your well-being is our priority, and we encourage you to reach out if you need assistance.
