Transport
Everyday we're striving to provide the research-based solutions that make Australians safer across all modes of transport.
Workplace
By understanding people's weaknesses and limitations, we help reduce the chance of them being hurt on the job.
Home and Community
We bring scientific rigour into home, sport and leisure settings to prevent injury. We're also making communities resilient in the face of disaster.

Impactful research
An injury-free society won't happen by itself. Our policy-makers need real-world, evidence-based data to point them in the right direction. That's what we're here for.
