摘要

A Northern Territory indigenous program changing the attitudes and behaviours towards the use of proper child car restraints has taken out Australasia's premier road safety award, the 3M-ACRS Diamond Road Safety Award, recognising exemplary innovation and effectiveness to save lives and injuries on roads. The Northern Territory Motor Accidents (Compensation) Commission (MACC) project, led by Team Leader Christine Thiel, has been developed to reduce the incidence of death and serious injury of children aged 7 and under through the increased use of properly fitted child restraints.
