The purpose of this Expression of Interest (EoI) Invitation is to invite qualified organisations or consortia to formally express an interest in submitting research proposals relating to Stream 4 of the Austroads funded Suicide in Road Transport (SiRT) project.
The SiRT project seeks to investigate and understand the scope of suicides in road transport, to establish mechanisms to appropriately monitor over time and seek to reduce its impact.

colleagues and organisations) and, if possible, provide recommendations to help improve their
resilience following an event; and
(b) Identifying and improve understanding of the barriers that impact upon effective interventions with
regards to suicide in road transport.
