Under unsafe2safe, up to 1000 eligible young, regional Victorians will receive a $5000 subsidy to purchase a newer, safer vehicle from a participating dealer.

Buying a newer, safer car can be costly, especially for young drivers. Young drivers are over-represented in road trauma data – and that’s why the unsafe2safe trial program to help young drivers access safer vehicles is really important.

Applications for the trial open on 10 August 2022, and close on 4 September 2022.
