In November 2025, the department commissioned a discovery project to develop framework options for a data-led Road Safety Investigation Branch, designed to identify options for an evidence-driven, system-focused road safety analysis function. The report is due by the end of June 2026.

The operating model for the Road Safety Investigation Branch is still to be determined, but it will be focussed on using large cross-sector datasets and connected vehicle data to identify risks and thematic priorities, and providing insights and recommendations to support continuous safety learning and decision-making.
