Working for change
Our work is part of an international movement. Victoria Walks® is an award winning voting member of the International Federation of Pedestrians (IFP) which was founded in 1963 as the umbrella organization for national pedestrian advocacy groups, and is a proud signatory of the International Charter for Walking. Victoria Walks is a member of CWANZ and is linked to various organisations that champion walking.

Policy
Victoria Walks undertakes research, which informs our ongoing advocacy and policy work.
These short 2-page case studies summarise some of our research and its impact:
- Safer Road Design for Older Pedestrians
- Falls in the street - the hidden road toll
- Shared walking and cycling paths - issues and solutions.
Wherever possible, Victoria Walks makes submissions to relevant Victorian, National and Local Government policy processes, some of which we have posted on our submissions page. A summary of some of our earlier policy work is available here.
Victoria Walks® has been invited onto a number of key Government advisory committees and reference groups relevant to creating walkable communities and increasing the health of Victorians.
