Abstract
In Australia, transport-related injury is the second leading cause of fatal injury for First Peoples. Standardised by age, this is a fatality rate 2.7 times greater than non-First Peoples. The serious injury rate is also 1.3 times greater. Most First Peoples live in urban areas, although they represent a greater proportion of the population living in remote areas. Serious injury and fatal crash rates increase as remoteness from urban centres increases, which contributes to the fatality and injury statistics.
