Council's Full Gear Program has been recognised with a nomination at the 2026 Tasmanian Community Achievement Awards!
The nomination recognises the work and impact of the Full Gear Program and the people behind its success.
Full Gear is a free motorcycle safety program for young people aged 16–24, delivered in partnership with Bucaan Community House and funded by the Department of State Growth’s Road Safety Advisory Council.
We take applications from young people who have participated in or are at risk of unsafe road/motorcycle use.
The program is co-designed with participants and covers road safety education, attitudes, and practical skills. It offers two streams:
- Learner’s Program — 6 facilitated sessions, $400 worth of safety gear, and fully covered course fees for the pre-learner’s course at AJL Training
- Provisional Program — 3 facilitated sessions, $400 worth of safety gear, fully covered course fees for the pre-provisional course, a basic motorcycle safety check with a qualified mechanic, and access to a track day at Baskerville Raceway
We’ll find out whether the program has been shortlisted when finalists are announced on 10 September.
The awards will be presented at a special function on 30 October.
Congratulations to Willie Joseph and the CommUNITY Development Team on this well-deserved recognition and thank you for your ongoing work supporting our community.
