The Safer Motorcycling Grants provide funding for eligible projects that will enhance the safety of Victorian motorcyclists.

We are inviting organisations to submit an application for funding to support projects across one or more of the themes of Technology, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), Education, Research and Motorcycle Policy and Law.

The maximum grant amount payable under this program is $300,000 excluding GST.

For an application to be considered the submission must outline how the project:

  • contributes to improving motorcyclist safety in Victoria by addressing key rider safety issues;
  • is aligned with the Safe System approach;
  • will be completed within two years of contract commencement;
  • will produce relevant, clearly articulated and quantified project deliverables;
  • builds on any previous work completed in the research domain;
  • will not be funded from other road safety budgets;
  • falls under one or more of the following themes, consistent with the MSL Strategic Guide to the Expenditure of the Motorcycle Safety Levy:
  • Education and Research;
  • Motorcycle Policy and Law; or
