The Open Road program is an initiative developed and delivered by the Tasmanian Transport Association in collaboration with Rural Alive and Well (RAW), the Tasmanian Truck Owners and Operators Association (TTOOA) and the Royal Flying Doctor Service Tas (RFDS), with the objective of improving the mental and physical health of truck drivers within Tasmania’s transport industry.

Traditional support services often don’t reflect the unique demands of life on the road, and many not be accessible by drivers. The Open Road program was created to respond to this gap – raising awareness about the importance of developing and maintaining good physical and mental health, and providing options for direct intervention to provide support before issues escalate.

Funded by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator for a pilot, and now supported with funds from the Tasmanian Government, Open Road is a multi-channel, grassroots and industry focused campaign to open up conversations and provide support to drive improved physical and mental health and wellbeing for Tasmania’s critical freight transport workforce.

Open Road is further supported by NTI and Team Super.
