The Australian Government has committed $4.2 million in grants to Round 10 of the program, with any business or association involved in the heavy vehicle industry looking to address a safety gap or issue encouraged to apply.
NHVR Interim CEO Janelle van de Velde said the HVSI program is an invaluable opportunity for organisations, businesses and innovators within the heavy vehicle industry and wider supply chain, to contribute to making Australia’s roads safer for all road users.
“Through previous rounds of the HVSI, we’ve been able to get crucial road safety programs off the ground, including a program that will equip 50 heavy vehicles with new, high-quality Automated External Defibrillators and increase knowledge and confidence of truck drivers to provide bystander first aid,” says Janelle.
“Whether it’s cutting-edge technology, driver education, or evidence-based material development – this funding is set to help you make a real impact.
“I look forward to seeing the meaningful change this next round brings to road safety across Australia.”
Submissions will close at 5pm AEST 17 February 2025.
