We can help you to manage the single greatest risk in your day-to-day operations. Reducing work-related road crashes reduces harm, improves productivity and reduced operational costs.
At Driver Safety Australia, we believe defensive driving isn’t about ticking a box—it’s about changing the way you think and react on the road. Driving is one of the riskiest things we do, and the biggest safety feature in any vehicle is the person behind the wheel.
Our training goes beyond car control. We focus on the human factors—awareness, mindset, decision-making under pressure—so drivers can anticipate hazards, stay calm in traffic, and make better choices in real-world conditions.
The real difference between a safe outcome and a serious incident often comes down to how we think, how we anticipate, and how we manage the human factors behind the wheel
Driver Safety Australia’s Drive Active Expat program provides a unique learning experience for those who are new to driving on Australian roads.
Driver Safety Australia’s Drive Active program provides valuable insight and understanding to safe driving practices to enhance their driving ability.
This full day pro-active program includes both classroom and practical training.
Towing a trailer of any kind requires a different skill set compared to normal motoring. Our towing courses are designed to provide personal coaching to help make towing easier and safer.
We’ll cover everything you’ll need to know about correct hitching, weight distribution, how the trailer performs on the road and how to deal with those challenging low speed manoeuvres like reversing, in a one-on-one environment.
Slow speed manoeuvring and reversing are one of the leading vehicle incidents faced by businesses. DSA’s Slow Manoeuvring vehicle training is available in both half and fill day formats offering both theory and practical training.
Providing driving safety skills, techniques and confidence to enhance driving ability.
1. Australian-Context Expertise
We train for the conditions you actually face in the real world: unpredictable traffic flow, long rural stretches, sudden weather shifts, and the unique mix of urban and regional driving challenges across Australia. Our courses are available across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and beyond.
2. Focus on Human Factors
Safe driving isn’t just about car control—it’s about managing your attention, mindset, and decision-making under pressure. We teach drivers to stay alert, think ahead, and keep composure when things don’t go as planned.
3. Proven Safety Outcomes
Defensive driving reduces crash risk by building habits such as scanning early, anticipating hazards, and preparing for “what if” scenarios. It’s not about memorising rules, but about being proactive in your driving choices.
4. Insurance and Risk Benefits
Completing a nationally recognised course can support lower insurance premiums, help protect your licence, and, for organisations, directly reduce workplace driving risk.
5. Practical, Real-World Learning
Driving techniques, hazard anticipation, and space management are skills you can apply immediately. We build practical reflexes, not just theory—skills that stick when you need them most.
From new drivers to seasoned professionals, anyone who drives can sharpen their skills and reduce their risk. For organisations, our programs align with WHS obligations and demonstrate a strong commitment to staff and public safety.
