A football day at Norths Devils Club will become part of a broader push to tackle dangerous driving, with police, paramedics and firefighters joining forces in Nundah for a National Road Safety Week community event.
Running from 11am to 3pm on Sunday 24 May, the event at Norths Devils Club will bring together the Queensland Police Service, Queensland Ambulance Service and Queensland Fire Department as part of the annual national campaign focused on reducing road trauma.
National Road Safety Week, held from 17 to 24 May, is a nationwide advocacy initiative aimed at raising awareness about the human cost of crashes while encouraging Australians to make safer decisions behind the wheel. Landmarks across the country are illuminated in yellow during the week as a show of support for the campaign.
For police, the message is straightforward: enforcement matters, but behaviour change matters more.
Queensland Police have used the week to take that message directly into the community through a series of public events across Brisbane’s north, including a Coffee with a Cop session at Boondall, a rural road safety activation at Samford’s parkrun, and a motorcycle safety initiative at a Geebung bike night.
The Nundah event brings that campaign into a local sporting setting, where families and community members can engage directly with emergency services while road safety remains front of mind.
The campaign comes as authorities continue to warn about the behaviours most commonly linked to serious crashes and fatalities, including speeding, drink and drug driving, distraction, fatigue, and failing to wear seatbelts.
Rather than relying solely on roadside enforcement, National Road Safety Week is built around the idea that preventing trauma starts before someone gets behind the wheel.
For Nundah locals heading to Norths Devils next weekend, the event offers a chance to connect with frontline responders while being reminded that road safety is not just a policing issue, but a shared community responsibility.
