Ancap Safety

Welcome to ANCAP SAFETY. As Australia and New Zealand's independent authority on vehicle safety, we are dedicated to ensuring the safety of road users through comprehensive crash testing, performance assessments, and the publication of simple star ratings that reflect the relative safety performance of vehicles. Our Mission: To protect road users in Australia and New Zealand by continually enhancing new vehicle safety. Our Vision: Zero deaths and serious injuries on Australian and New Zealand roads. With a proud history spanning over three decades, ANCAP SAFETY has been at the forefront of providing independent safety ratings for thousands of new vehicle makes, models, and variants. Our ratings serve as a valuable resource for private consumers and fleet buyers, helping them make informed decisions by comparing the relative safety of vehicles of similar size. Beyond safety ratings, ANCAP SAFETY actively advocates for improved vehicle safety design and specifications. We do this through public education campaigns, consumer advocacy, and collaboration with governments, corporate fleets and the media, to promote influence positive change across the automotive industry.
