Driver Reviver wins National Road Safety Award

Driver Reviver has been recognised for its outstanding contribution to road safety, winning the Rural & Remote Programs Award at the 2026 Australian Road Safety Awards.

The award recognises more than 35 years of helping reduce fatigue-related crashes through Driver Reviver's iconic ‘Stop. Rest. Revive. Survive.’ program.

Each year, more than one million motorists visit Driver Reviver sites across Australia, where dedicated volunteers provide free tea, coffee and biscuits while encouraging drivers to take a break before continuing their journey.

This national recognition honours the thousands of volunteers, community organisations and partners who have helped make Driver Reviver one of Australia's longest running and most trusted community road safety initiatives. 

The award also highlights the important role communities play in reducing driver fatigue and helping more Australians arrive safely at their destination.

Volunteers saving lives across Australia

Driver Reviver Australia Ltd has been helping keep Australian roads safer since 1989. Powered by a dedicated network of volunteers from community groups and service organisations, our program offers vital roadside stops to promote road safety and reduce the road toll.

Our mission is simple: to provide local communities with an opportunity to actively contribute to reducing fatigue-related road trauma.

At each Driver Reviver site, travellers can take a much-needed break with a free cup of Bushells coffee or tea, an Arnott’s biscuit, and most importantly, a chance to rest and recharge, ensuring drivers stay alert and reach their destination safely.

The Driver Reviver program wouldn't be possible without the generous support of our valued partners: AAMI, Victoria State Emergency Service, FedEx, The Arnott’s Group Foundation, Bushells Coffee, Bushells Tea, and Sunshine Sugar.
