Vanessa is a youth‑led service that aims to educate the current generation of young drivers on how they can keep themselves and their mates safe on the roads. Now operating from a purpose‑built Tiny Home, Vanessa brings an engaging and supportive experience to events across Victoria to help punters get home sweet home.
Vanessa’s Place attends events with a friendly team and a fleet of vehicles, including the Tiny Home, Mini V (Mini Van) and Bute (Ford Ranger), creating a space where young people can learn about road safety in a relaxed environment. The team discusses topics ranging from drink and drug taking to eliminating distractions while behind the wheel, and also offers practical services such as free breath tests and chill‑out spaces.
