Today marks the start of National Road Safety Week. This year's theme is 'Pledge to Drive so Others Survive', giving us all an opportunity to make sure we're looking out for each other on the roads.

To start the week, it is important to remember the 1,300 lives lost on Australian roads each year. Over 40,000 people are also injured each year on our roads.

All road users have a small but important role to play in helping to reduce lives lost and injuries.

Emergency services have a vital role in responding to accidents, saving lives and making sure road users are driving safely. Shout out to the following Victorian emergency services that respond to incidents and proactively keep us safe:

CFA (Country Fire Authority)
Fire Rescue Victoria
Victoria State Emergency Service
Ambulance Victoria
Victoria Police
Echuca Moama Search & Rescue Squad
Shepparton Search and Rescue Squad

A new national warning system called AusAlert will be used across Australia from October 2026.

AusAlert will be able to send warning messages to your mobile device as push notifications during:
• Natural hazards such as bushfires, floods, and tsunamis
• Public health emergencies
• Biosecurity incidents
• Security threats

Before the system is introduced, it will be tested.

In Victoria, a local test will happen in the Geelong suburbs of Highton and Belmont on Thursday 18 June at 2 pm, followed by a national test on Monday 27 July at 2 pm.

More about the tests and rollout of AusAlert will be shared on the VicEmergency page in the coming weeks.

Today, Anzac Day, is for all Australians and New Zealanders. We are reminded of the sacrifices made for our way of life, and of the values that shaped and unite our communities.

As we mark 111 years since ANZAC soldiers landed at Gallipoli, we acknowledge all who have served our nation – whether in wars, conflicts, peacekeeping or other operations.

Lest we forget.
