The Quad Bike Safety Rebate and Free Training Program was first introduced in 2016 as a key activity under the NSW Quad Bike Safety Improvement Program (2016 – 2023) to support farmers in NSW improve quad bike and side-by-side vehicles (SSV) safety.
From 2016 – 2023, the Program:
- provided over $11 million in safety rebates, and
- delivered free nationally accredited quad bike and SSV training to 2,520 farmers, farm workers and agricultural students over the age of 16. Each trained participant also received a free compliant helmet.
The NSW Quad Bike Safety Rebate Program was administered by NSW Farmers Association.
The Free Training Program was delivered by Tocal Agricultural College.
