Helping to build the future of Uber

Whether you’re getting people to the places they need to be or helping them get home safely, as a driver-partner, you help keep your communities moving. And you know the day-to-day of driving on the Uber app better than anyone.

Which is why in 2021, together with RPS Group, we launched the Uber Advisory Forums in Australia, bringing together passionate driver-partners to help shape the future of driving with Uber.

In 2025-2026, there will again be four forums over two years. Advisors will have an opportunity to give feedback, share their ideas for solutions and advocate for the interests of their fellow driver-partners. Advisors help shape the topics discussed to make sure we’re focusing on the things that matter most to you.

Answer the Have Your Say Survey

As someone who drives with the Uber app, you have unique experiences and insights which can help shape the future of driving with Uber.

Before each forum, we invite driver partners to share their feedback on the topics chosen by Advisors through the 'Have Your Say' survey. Advisors have access to all the comments to help them best represent you and others at the forum.

You will be notified via email or your in-app inbox when the survey opens.

Book time with Advisors through 'Open Hours'

Before the start of the second, third and fourth forum, Advisors (together with RPS Group) host 'Open Hours' sessions.

These are short feedback sessions with driver partners like you to help them understand the challenges you face and advocate for solutions.

Slots are subject to limited availability so book your session early if you’d like to participate. RPS Group will send you instructions and reminders in the lead up to each booking.

You will be notified when bookings open.
