Scandinavian experts will work with NSW authorities at a major roundtable to tackle the state's soaring road toll.
The forum will take advice from Nordic countries that have succeeded in reducing their road fatalities over the last 20 years.
Road-safety experts, advocates and crash victims will come together on February 22 to focus on providing safer roads and saving lives.
It will be the first time in the state's history that experts from interstate and around the world will be brought together to tackle the issue of road deaths, the state government said.
Roads Minister John Graham said Australia's road toll had risen as traffic volumes rebounded following COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions.
There were 351 deaths on the roads in NSW in 2023, a sharp increase on the 288 deaths the previous year.
A further eight people have died in January so far, including a driver who was killed in a crash at Kemps Creek in western Sydney on Friday morning.
"This forum is an opportunity to hear from experts who have had some success in reducing the road toll and identify new measures and actions," Mr Graham said.
Sweden, which has a population higher than that of NSW, recorded 220 road deaths in 2022.
Regional Roads Minister Jenny Aitchison said the forum would have a particular focus on preventing regional road fatalities.
"While one-third of our population lives in regional NSW, over two-thirds of fatalities (70 per cent) occur on regional roads," she said.
"Any death on a road is one too many but for regional communities where everyone knows everyone, it hits particularly hard."
