Life keeps moving —
even when you stop driving.
Stopping driving can be a big life change. It involves adjusting to the prospect of stopping driving, and planning for life without driving.
This free website bring together two things to support you: interactive learning — videos, interviews and activities — to help you through the transition, and useful resources and ACT services to help you get around and stay well.
This website has been developed by researchers and practitioners from the Australian Catholic University who specialise in road safety and clinical psychology. The project was supported by the ACT Government under the ACT Road Safety Fund (RSG2024024).
What's in this website.
Interactive learning, useful resources, and information for health professionals, family & friends, all designed to support wellbeing during retirement from driving.
Interactive learning
Evidence-based interactive learning to support people in the transition away from driving. Designed by researchers and practitioners who specialise in road safety and psychology.
Useful resources
Practical information about driving in the ACT, making decisions about driving, getting around without driving, getting things done from home, and looking after your health & wellbeing.
Information for health professionals
Austroads fitness-to-drive standards & training, referrals & reporting in the ACT, and guidance for patient wellbeing.
Information for family & caregivers
Practical ways to help a loved one, guidance on having difficult conversations, and how to look after yourself through the change.
Join an online peer support meet-up.
Talking with others who’ve been through similar experiences can make a real difference. Hearing first-hand stories, sharing questions, and learning how others have navigated the transition away from driving can be incredibly reassuring.
We host regular online peer support meet-ups, offering a friendly and supportive space to connect with others on the same journey.
Anyone is welcome. Some attendees may also choose to take part in a related ACU research study, but this is not required.
