Yesterday, TMAA CEO Matthew Bereni had the opportunity to speak with David Reilly from ABC Radio Hobart about the National Traffic Controller Safety Survey, now running for its third consecutive year.

At TMAA, we represent around 200 companies from across the Traffic Control and Traffic Management industry, right across the country. Our core mission is to advocate for our Members, with a strong focus on critical issues like Road Safety. Opportunities to engage with the general public — like this one — are a key part of our plan to raise awareness and drive change on behalf of our Members.

Across Australia, it’s widely accepted that around 20 traffic controllers lose their lives on our roads each year. Sadly, the real number could be even higher — but even 20 deaths are far too many.

A powerful moment from the interview was when Matthew said:
"I often ask people: how would you react if you were told that 20 bus drivers or 20 flight attendants died every year at work? It would be completely unacceptable — and it’s no different for traffic controllers. These are real lives being lost, and we have to act to change that."

Thank you again to David and the ABC Hobart team for helping us raise awareness of this critical issue.

We are pleased to share that the Traffic Management Association of Australia’s Strategic Plan for 2025–2027 is now available for viewing on our website.

This Strategic Plan reaffirms our unwavering commitment to supporting you—our Members—across every corner of the country. It provides a clear and actionable framework that will guide our efforts over the next three years as we continue to deliver value to our Members and champion the future of the traffic management industry.

Importantly, this Plan has been developed in close consultation with our broad TMAA leadership team—including our National Board, State Chairs and Vice Chairs. Their local knowledge, experience, and insight have been instrumental in ensuring that the Plan reflects the needs and priorities of Members on the ground.

We encourage you to take a moment to read through the Plan and see how your input and industry voice have helped shape our future direction.

Warm regards
TMAA

Fatal collision in Nhill (Victoria)

The Traffic Management Association of Australia (TMAA) is deeply saddened and frustrated to learn of the tragic death of a road worker performing traffic control duties on the Western Highway near Nhill on 23 January 2025.

We express our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of the road worker who lost their life in this devastating incident. We urge all motorists to take responsibility and slow down when driving near road works. The safety of workers, motorists, and everyone sharing the road must always come first.

We also encourage anyone who witnessed the crash or who may have passed through the area with dashcam footage to assist authorities by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submitting a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

The Traffic Management Association of Australia (TMAA) is pleased to see our persistent advocacy for the safety of traffic controllers resonating with the Victorian government, which has now launched the impactful "We're People Too" awareness campaign. This initiative serves as a vital reminder for drivers to slow down, exercise patience, and show respect for those who work tirelessly to maintain our roads.

Our research has shown the troubling reality of physical and verbal aggression faced by roadworkers, highlighting an urgent need for increased awareness. This campaign will amplify these concerns by sharing the stories of Victorian roadworkers, reinforcing that these workers are, above all, people with families and lives beyond the work zone.

Thank you, Victoria, for taking this step to ensure every roadworker can feel safer at work. Let’s continue working towards a culture where everyone makes it home safely at the end of the day.
