GENERAL RESOURCES

Coping with Change ‘Stories of Brain Injury’ ::

DVD available from the Brain Injury Association of Tasmania (FREECALL 1300 242 827).

http://www.transport.tas.gov.au/safety/crash_statistics :: TASMANIAN CRASH STATISTICS

The Tasmanian Crash Statistics website has been developed to provide the public with a straight forward overview of Tasmanian crash statistics and serves as a potential educational tool for road safety in general. This site presents road crash statistics for the previous calendar year, including quarterly updates and presents road crash statistic trends for the last five years.

http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s715056.htm :: HIGH SPEED IMPACT: THE HIDDEN TOLL

There is a hidden toll on our roads - the trauma of serious brain injury. To understand why, we need to see what really happens in a car crash. This Catalyst special report looks at the cutting edge science of crash testing and investigates one accident that changed a woman's life forever. The latest computer modelling techniques reveal for the first time what happens to the human brain at the moment of impact, and what can be done about the way we design our vehicles.

http://www.mafmad.com.au/ :: MAKE A FILM MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Short films about driving, young people and keeping your mates safe.  Over the past six years of the competition, young film makers have explored what influences young people's attitudes towards taking risks on the road and the negative consequences that may occur.  Students are encouraged to have a look at the films of current and past winners.

http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s1977199.htm :: DON'T DIE YOUNG

Dr Alice Roberts delves deep into the body's most complex organ – the brain – and discovers how it can be ‘tricked' into seeing things which don't exist, and how it can be trained to improve its memory function.  Rugby fanatic and primary school teacher Sean Gilbertson has trouble remembering the names of the 27 pupils in his class; he thinks it's down to the 40 separate concussions he has received playing his beloved sport. He has now been told to quit rugby – or risk damaging his brain permanently.

RESOURCES FOR SCHOOLS

Young people aged 18-25 years are about three times more likely to be killed in a car crash than older more experienced drivers.  The TAC has developed a range of school resources designed for the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) Level 6 and the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). These are designed to complement the recommended core resource for traffic safety education in Victorian secondary schools, Traffic Safety Essentials .
