Road safety responsibilities [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Hi 
 
 
Thank you for your phone call just now. As discussed, in Australia's federal system, government responsibilities for road 
safety vary across jurisdictions: 
 
∙         The Australian Government is responsible for regulating safety standards for new vehicles, and for allocating 
infrastructure resources, including for safety, across the national highway and local road networks. 
 
 
∙         State and territory governments are responsible for funding, planning, designing and operating the road network; 
managing vehicle registration and driver licensing systems; and regulating and enforcing road user behaviour. 
 
 
∙         Local governments have responsibilities for funding, planning, designing and operating the road networks in their 
local areas.
