Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The review of the ACT Graduated Licensing Scheme is an action item under the ACT Road Safety Action Plan 2016-20 (Action 21). The review is being conducted internally by the Road Safety Policy team within the Justice and Community Safety Directorate. No third parties or external contractors have been engaged.

The review has been guided by the Australian Graduated Licensing Scheme Policy Framework (the national framework), endorsed by the Transport and Infrastructure Council in November 2014. The national framework is based on an extensive review of evidence and incorporates a tiered approach to best practice, and is designed to encourage and guide improvements to Graduated Licensing Schemes for all states and territories.

The ACT discussion paper will incorporate an analysis of best practice evidence, ACT crash data and community feedback in proposing a range of reforms.

Public consultation will include an invitation for public submissions. It is anticipated to commence in the coming months, coordinated and funded by the Justice and Community Safety Directorate, with use of the ACT Government’s social media accounts, the ‘Yoursay’ consultation website and Our Canberra newsletters. Following the consultation period, the Justice and Community Safety Directorate will assess outcomes and make recommendations to me about planning and timing of implementation.
