IRSA 4+

The Indigenous Road Safety Academy (IRSA) app is an Australian road rules and road safety refresher for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples driving in Australia. It is digital competency-based driver training and road rules education that uses a blended learning model integrating visually rich animation with written content. The content underpinning IRSA is world leading and designed for social impact. It is based on the premise that every road user has the right to travel safely.



IRSA delivers:



• Education based on Australian Road Rules (ARR) in English and eight Indigenous languages: Anindilyakwa, EC Arrernte, Murrinh-patha, Pitjantjatjara, Warlpiri, TSI Creole, Kimberley Kriol, and Yolngu Matha.
• Regular updates.
• Alignment to Australia’s National Road Safety Strategy 2021-30, as well as the Towards Zero and Fatal Five campaigns.
• A complement and support to existing driver education resources.
• 90 minutes of visually rich animated training (43% road rules, 57% road safety).
• Accessibility on mobile devices.
• Cost effective licence model facilitates scalable CALD- friendly road safety and road rule education.


IRSA aims to:



• Lower Indigenous incarceration through education.
