Abstract
The Centre for Road Safety (CRS) has established the routine collection and reporting of data on serious injuries from NSW road crashes. This new information shows that the profile of serious injuries and fatalities are different, and highlights the need for practitioners to use serious injury data in setting the road safety agenda and delivering initiatives to reduce serious injuries on roads. This paper outlines how NSW has used serious injury data to date to improve the design and delivery of road safety measures.
