The Road Safety Commission (Commission) is an independent business unit within WA Police, that reports to the Minister for Road Safety, Hon Reece Whitby MLA.
First created in July 2015, the Commission was transitioned into WA Police on July 1, 2017, as part of the State Government’s Machinery of Government changes to create collaborative departments focused on delivering services in a more efficient and effective way.
The Commission is responsible for reducing road trauma on WA roads by supporting the State Government’s Driving Change – Road Safety Strategy for Western Australia 2020-2030 and a Safe System approach to road safety using the principles of Safe Road Use, Safe Roads and Roadsides, Safe Speeds, and Safe Vehicles.
