The $3.5M Safer Motorcycling Grants Program funds new and innovative projects aimed at improving motorcycle safety in the short and long term.
Research organisations and industry can apply for funding to support projects that will help increase the safety of motorcyclists on our roads.
We’re looking for applications for innovative projects across the themes of Technology and Intelligent Transport Solutions (ITS), Education and Research, or Motorcycle Policy and Law.
Applications can cover a broad range of priority areas including protective gear, safety technologies, novice riders, post-crash care, speed, or rider and driver behaviour.
Saving motorcycle riders’ lives and preventing serious injuries remains a key road safety challenge. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to injury than other motorists and motorcycle riding continues to increase in popularity.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for funding, you must:
- be incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or the Associations Incorporations Reform Act 2012 (Vic); and
- have a current Australian Business Number (ABN).
Organisations outside of Victoria can apply.
We encourage organisations to work collaboratively to deliver a joint project.
For full details read our Program Guidelines.
