Role of the Implementation Advisory Group

Austroads has established an AFTD Implementation Advisory Group (IAG) of key stakeholders to provide expert advice for the delivery of our implementation work. The IAG provides a broad perspective when considering the options for achieving the following outcomes:

  • Health professionals, drivers and other stakeholders are aware of the standards
  • In the case of health professionals and Jurisdictions, they have the knowledge and skills to apply the standards appropriately and consistently
  • They have the processes and systems in place to support and manage drivers through the challenges associated with ongoing monitoring, driving restriction, or non-driving.

Membership and administration

Participation in the IAG is by invitation from Austroads and members will be invited based on their representation of key target audiences as well as their specific relevant expertise.

The IAG will comprise individuals who are able to advise on communication, education, systems and other implementation strategies from the point of view of the main stakeholder groups including medical/health professionals, licensing authorities, regulators, and road industry representatives.
