Starting Out Safely is about children, parents, carers and early childhood educators working together to guide children’s learning in being and becoming safe and independent road users.

VicRoads funds Early Learning Association Australia  to deliver Starting Out Safely throughout Victoria.

The Starting Out Safely program character is ThingleToodle (TT). TT appears in television commercials funded by the Transport Accident Commission, and visits funded kindergarten programs throughout Victoria.
