In recognition of the close professional connection between the Safety Practitioners’ Group of the Transportation Group NZ and the Women in Road Safety Network of the Australasian College of Road Safety (ACRS), the National Committee is pleased to sponsor a Transportation Group member to attend the 2026 Australasian Road Safety Conference (2026 ARSC) Conference, which this year is being held in Sydney.
The sponsorship (to the value of NZD3000) is to support a member to attend the 2026 ARSC conference, participate in the various sessions and workshops, and to represent the Transportation Group at conference events.
How do I apply?
Interested members are invited to submit an EOI by Friday 3rd July 2026 to wirsn@acrs.org.au with the subject ‘EOI for Transportation Group Scholarship for 2026 ARSC’, supported by their CV and a brief (up to 300 words) commentary on the following criteria::
- benefit to the member, employer, and profession from member’s participation in the conference
- ability of member to obtain additional funding needed for the trip (e.g. via their employer)
- member’s contribution to profession (especially the Transportation Group)
- whether the member is presenting at the conference.
Please note, the successful member must meet conference attendance costs above that of the value of the sponsorship.
After the conference, the successful member will prepare a brief conference report that will be published in the Roundabout magazine and is encouraged to give a presentation on their trip to their local Branch and the next Transportation Conference if possible.
Expressions of interest are open until Friday, 3rd July. For queries, please contact the WIRSN Chair via wirsn@acrs.org.au
