BRAKE Australia

BRAKE Driver Awareness Limited is a non for profit organisation established to bring evidence-based knowledge to Australian high school students. In 2021 there were 1,123 road crash deaths in Australia. The broader impact on our communities due to these deaths is immeasurable. Of these 1,123 road crash deaths, the age group 17-25 years old accounted for 7.4 deaths per 100,000 people, well above the national average. Highlighting that people aged 17-25 years are most at risk of dying on our roads. The BRAKE program is a 6-module online program taught by teachers to year 11 and 12 students aged 15-18 years old. Through regular reinforcement, the outcome of the BRAKE curriculum is to become an unconscious thought process toward risk-taking. This will help combat an underdeveloped young adult's brain. BRAKE is an award-winning program that has been taught to over 80,000 students in over 160 schools in Queensland alone with the help of over 500 teachers.
