CARRS-Q is the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety.

And the Q? That stands for Queensland.

We're Brisbane-based, but our work is international.

We're a proactive network of industry and real world research.

Around the globe, road safety is imperative and our world-class researchers lead the way.

Professor Barry Watson, Director of CARRS-Q: "Our goal at CARRS-Q is to reduce road trauma. We do that through our world-leading programs in road safety research and education."

As the only provider of targeted road safety studies in Australia, CARRS-Q is renowned for its world-leading education, professional development and research programs.

Karen Burton, Senior Road Safety Officer – Gold Coast City Council: "The courses that I completed with CARRS-Q, in my opinion, are world class.

"I think the most important thing that I've learned is how to put together initiatives to save lives.

"That's important to me, and it's important to the community.

"I looked around for quite some time before I started studying, and found that CARRS-Q were the only ones that provided this type of professional training."

Through both on-campus and distance education delivery, CARRS-Q can provide education programs to suit you and your lifestyle.

Russell White, Founder – Driversafety.com.au and Fatality Free Friday: "Well the study I did at CARRS-Q involved a Graduate Certificate in Road Safety, and I must admit that it was the first time I went back to school at the age of forty.

"I wish I was that interested in learning when I was at school, as a teenager.

"But it was a fantastic course, I really got an enormous amount out of it.

"We never stop learning, and I think it's important that we do more research to understand the reasons behind human behaviour and the human factors behind road trauma.

"I think the work that CARRS-Q does is important because it gives a real practical application to the research that allows practitioners like myself to be able to engage that on a broader community scale."

Karen Burton: "Since I've completed the courses with CARRS-Q, I now have the confidence to pick up something a little bit more challenging, so I've enrolled in a Masters degree – I'm really looking forward to that."

With over ten years' experience in developing and delivering our unique road safety programs, CARRS-Q is a vibrant, dynamic place to study, with world-class lecturers and research supervisors.

So, if it's qualifications you're after, big-picture strategies, professional development, or the safety of your family and fleet, CARRS-Q is researching, designing and developing programs for you.

With a national and international reputation for excellence in road safety, we are strongly committed to improving the safety of all road users.
