The government is introducing grants that will subsidise post-license training courses, as well as membership fees for motorcycle groups and clubs.

The Motorcycle Ride to Zero Grants have received the green tick from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.
Chief Executive Tony Weber firmly believed the grants were a worthwhile investment in reducing the number of deaths in Queensland.
“This initiative enhances road safety by equipping riders with improved motorcycle skills and rider knowledge,” he said.
“Whether for experienced riders looking to refine their skills or those returning to their motorcycles after a hiatus, these training courses play a pivotal role in enhancing on-road behaviours.
“We strongly support the Queensland Government’s commitment to road safety and rider education, and believe this initiative is a significant and worthwhile investment.”
There have been 52 motorcycle fatalities this year. Visit here for information about the Ride to Zero initiative.
