Six Tasmanians are caught every week without a seatbelt. Even more concerning is that one in ten people involved in serious accidents on our roads failed to buckle up.

Wearing a seatbelt reduces the risk of death in a crash by 74 percent. It is the most effective way to protect your life and the lives of those in your car.

Buckle up every trip. It is a simple habit that ensures you get home safely.

The MAIB Foundation funds essential ATV training to ensure rural students gain the defensive driving skills needed to stay safe on the job.

By providing the formal qualifications farmers require, this investment turns school learning into local employment.

Is your scooter legal? It is a question that could change your life.

With injuries on the rise, it is vital to know the rules. To be legal in Tasmania, your motorised scooter must:

- Weigh no more than 45kg.
- Have a maximum speed of 25km/h.

If you are involved in an accident with a registered motor vehicle, the MAIB is here to cover your medical costs and provide support. However, if your scooter is illegal, you risk losing access to a lifetime of care.

Know the rules. Protect your future.

MAIB, Help for life.

By funding ATV training through our MAIB Foundation, we ensure rural students gain the defensive driving skills and safety needed to prevent accidents on rural properties.

This investment also directly supports local employment by providing students with the formal qualifications that farmers and rural businesses value, creating a clear pathway from school to a career in agriculture.

We are proud to support the next generation of primary producers as they develop the practical skills to stay safe and succeed in the industry.
