Accident Research Centre
We’re one of the world’s most comprehensive injury prevention research institutions. Our research is extensive but our goal is quite simple: we strive to make people safer.
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.
Study with us
Join our team and became part of the largest accident and injury prevention research facility in Australia and one of the most respected institutes of its kind in the world.
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.
Lead the way
Whether you're a road safety professional locally or abroad, our Road Safety Management Leadership Program can help accelerate your professional development.
