Australasian College of Road Safety Fellowship Award

The road safety community’s highest honour.

The prestigious ACRS Fellowship is recognised as the Australasian road safety community’s highest honour, recognising an individual for their outstanding commitment and effectiveness in their efforts to reduce road trauma.

The Australasian College of Road Safety first instituted the award of College Fellow in 1991. The list of Fellows, since the inception of the award in 1991, is a record of significant achievement by these outstanding individuals.

Fellows must be acknowledged by colleagues and co-workers as outstanding, by virtue of contributions to road safety rather than their position. The contributions must be of such a nature that they have led to substantial growth and improvement in an important institution or organisation, body of knowledge or aspect of thought and practice associated with road safety. The award recipient is presented with a plaque and citation – there is no financial reward – but it is the College’s highest honour.

Nominations for the 2023 ACRS Awards will open in May 2023. The winners will be announced at Conference Dinner during the 2023 Australasian Road Safety Conference.”

Procedure for Nomination

The criteria for the award of Fellowship to the College are:

  • Fellowships are awarded through a nomination procedure only. Nomination may be made by two Fellows or Members.

General

ACRS Fellowship is not viewed as a reward for service but rather for making a distinctive contribution to the advancement of road safety. Nor is it awarded for reaching a particular position or rank. Excellence can be found at different levels of responsibility and the criteria for Fellowship are applied in relation to the level of responsibility held by a possible candidate. The nominee will be judged relative to those of a similar status, and the contribution made is expected to be outstanding relative to his or her peers rather than in relation to those of either higher or lower status or responsibilities.
