SportWest partners with WA Road Safety Commission

With sport recognised as having the ability to influence people on numerous different levels, Road Safety Commission Western Australia has partnered with SportWest to direct sport's powerful attributes towards boosting road safety across the state.

SportWest is the peak body for sport in Western Australia with more than 5,500 sporting clubs and 700,000 participants in organised sport across the State. SportWest is ideally positioned to engage and educate a wide audience on how to adopt safer behaviours on our roads.

Road Safety Minister Reece Whitby welcomed a new $1.9 million partnership between the Road Safety Commission and SportWest to positively influence road safety culture and behaviours through sport.

The four-year multimillion-dollar partnership will integrate education, behaviour change initiatives and community support to build a lasting impact on road safety culture across the WA sporting community and broader population.

The partnership will see several initiatives rolled out between now and June 2028, including a Road Safety Club Rewards Program, a Captain's Club and a Road Safety Ambassador Program. SportWest will also introduce a new category to the WA Sport Awards recognising the Road Safety Advocate of the Year to highlight individuals or clubs that excel in promoting road safety.
