Together we can make the roads safer
have you been close passed?
We want to hear from you. If you've ever had a vehicle pass too close while cycling, your experience matters. Help us push for stronger enforcement and safer roads by sharing your story in our Metre Matters survey.
If you've experienced a close pass and want to take action, you can also report it directly to Police. Every report helps identify dangerous behaviour, hotspot locations, and repeat offenders. Whether you have video or not, your report protects other riders and makes our roads safer. Find the reporting process for your state or territory.
AMY's foundation x ancap safety
Amy’s Foundation has teamed up with ANCAP Safety to create a Car Buyer’s Guide for people who care about protecting others on the road.
Our Guide explains ANCAP’s four pillars of safety testing, including Vulnerable Road User Protection (VRU), and unpacks the technology that makes a difference. It also gives you the top 10 questions to ask in the showroom about VRU protection, plus extra checks for driver, passenger and child safety.

Honouring Amy’s legacy
The Amy Gillett Foundation was established in 2005 in memory of Amy Gillett OLY, a talented Australian cyclist who tragically lost her life in a road accident.
Our foundation is dedicated to reducing the incidence of cycling-related deaths and injuries in Australia, because Amy's story is sadly not unique.
Since Amy's tragic death in 2005, there have been over 800 more deaths on Australian roads, involving cyclists and motorists.
Damion Drapac, Jason Lowndes, Gurmantar Gill, Nicholas Sky, Chris Baker, Angus Collins, Stephen Jelfs, John Dennis, Alicia Celaya Jauregui, Rebekka Meyer, Mardi Bartlett.
They are more than just names, they were people with families, friends, communities, who will forever grieve their loss.
For Amy, for them all, we work tirelessly to change the situation on Australian roads.
