Safer roads, active transport and healthier communities

The World Health Organization, in collaboration with partners, organises periodic UN Global Road Safety Weeks. This year the event focuses on sustainable transport, in particular the need to shift to walking, cycling and using public transport. Road safety is both a prerequisite for and an outcome of this shift. This panel discussion will explore how we can move to safe and sustainable transport in Australia and what challenges (and solutions) we will face to get there.

A live online panel discussion including audience Q&A.
