Why is this important?

  • Drink driving makes up over 30% of the fatal road toll in Australia, with over 1 in 4 drivers and passengers killed showing a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) over the legal limit.
  • In the last five years, 41% of all drivers and motorcyclists killed (who were tested) had drugs in their system.
  • We know the stats are even more concerning in regional areas. 55% of road crash deaths occur in regional areas of Australia, where many clubs are located far from members' homes. Even one death on our roads is too many.
  • The combination of risky alcohol consumption on club premises and the need to travel home makes community sports clubs a particularly high risk setting for drink driving.
  • And drink driving is still common. A third of young adult club members said they drove home after drinking five or more standard drinks.

Join the Good Sports Game Ready Round to show your members and your community loud and clear where your club stands on drink driving.
