Educating public transport users on what constitutes inappropriate behaviour while empowering vulnerable communities – including women, girls, LGBTIQA+, and multicultural passengers – as well as bystanders to report incidents to Victoria Police’s STOPIT service.
This new Passenger Safety campaign by Public Transport Victoria (PTV) will roll out across Victoria’s public transport network from Monday 17 March 2025, as part of a long-term strategy to improve safety and encourage reporting of unwanted sexual and anti-social behaviours.
Designed to enhance perceptions of safety across the network, the campaign will appear across out-of-home placements on and around public transport, as well as on digital, social media, search, and regional press. It will also include targeted audio advertising on CALD and LGBTIQA+ radio, digital radio, and podcasts.
In alignment with STOPIT service in-language materials, multicultural campaign assets have been developed in Arabic, Dari, Karen, Khmer, Korean, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
