Supporting people bereaved and seriously injured

Our powerful road safety education programs reach 5,000+ people each year - in the justice system, community groups, schools, and workplaces.
Challenging complacency and driving change
"You can't change what happened to you. But, your story can change what happens to someone else."
In 1994 people impacted by road trauma started our organisation to help others similarly affected. People remain at the centre of all we do.
More than 80% of our staff are volunteers, working tirelessly to change community thinking about road safety.
“My goal is to help make our roads a safe environment for everyone who uses them and to prevent tragedy from occurring, as it is avoidable.”
Alex, 2025 Shine a Light on Road Safety Ambassador
