Mission
To reduce the incidence and impact of road trauma.
We achieve this by:

Providing counselling referral and information to
Victorian families and individuals affected by road
trauma.

Contributing to efforts at prevention of road trauma
within the community.
-
Recruiting and training volunteers who have themselves
been affected by road trauma.
-
Educating and raising the public awareness about how
people are affected by road trauma.
