Overview
The Graduate Certificate fosters specialist and multidisciplinary skills and knowledge in the fields of road safety, accident prevention, and traffic and transport improvements. The program is relevant not only to those already employed by government or industry, as either managers, practitioners or researchers, but also those seeking to enter these fields.
Students become conversant with real-world safety problems with input from psychology, humanities, public health, optometry, civil/mechanical/manufacturing and medical engineering staff, as well as guest lecturers from government and industry (eg state transport, police, and the insurance industry). Students undertake field study, and are able to complete workplace-based projects where appropriate. They gain experience in both individual and teamwork approaches to research, problem solving, information retrieval, and oral and written communication.

For entry into the Graduate Certificate in Road Safety, applicants must possess a relevant degree from a university, an equivalent qualification relevant to road safety or two years of professional practice relevant to road safety.
