Abstract

Road injury is a major cause of mortality and morbidity amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The National Aboriginal Road Safety Working Group has acknowledged that there is a lack of information about the circumstances of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's experience of road trauma. To combat this, it was decided to establish an internet-based clearing house to effectively share information about indigenous road safety amongst stakeholders and the community. This paper describes the development of the project, noting particular issues which arose in the drawing up of the tender: debate over the target audience for the clearing house; issues relating to ensuring the accessibility of the clearing house.
