At Queensland Rail, we are dedicated to connecting communities and delivering world-class service.
Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Safety comes first. Always.
To uphold this commitment, our Community Education team deliver the Railsmart program, a free, statewide initiative designed to promote rail safety and public transport awareness. This program delivers essential safety education to kindergartens, schools, alternative learning centres, and youth and community groups across Queensland.
What the Railsmart program offers
Our interactive and tailored presentations make safety engaging and relevant for all age groups. Delivered at school assemblies, year-level gatherings, or in classroom settings, the program emphasizes:
- The dangers of high-voltage electricity and trespassing
- How to safely use level crossings
- Staying safe on platforms and avoiding distractions
- Train etiquette and respectful behaviour
- Recognising Queensland Rail staff and security for assistance
Aligned with the Australian Education curriculum, the program integrates into the Health, Safety, and Physical Education focus areas.
We strive to deliver a world-class rail safety education program that positively shapes community attitudes and behaviours. By working closely with schools, community groups, and stakeholders, we aim to improve safety outcomes for everyone.
