Cost to the community

Road trauma costs the New South Wales community an alarming $3.6 billion annually. Each road death not only represents a profound tragedy for the deceased's family, friends, and colleagues but also leads to 50 additional road injuries. Among these, 8 result in serious, permanent disabilities such as brain injuries, spinal damage, or lost limbs. The long-term emotional and financial impacts of these serious injuries extend beyond direct medical costs, significantly affecting lost income and overall community wellbeing.
