Job description
The Organisation
We are Fit to Drive: a leading road safety education provider for young people and their families. Since 2014, we’ve delivered impactful workshops to over 130,000 young people around Victoria, both face-to-face and online.
At Fit to Drive, our vision is ‘young lives free from road trauma’. Road trauma is the second largest killer of young people after suicide. Youth road trauma is a community problem, it impacts everyone, and needs a whole community response.
Each day we send highly trained passionate young people into senior schools and community settings – face to face or online – to empower actions and promote a safe road culture to save young lives and prevent injuries on our roads.
