Beverley Brock

Road Trauma Support Services Victoria (RTSSV) is proud to be working alongside Bev Brock to further its work in the road safety arena.

Born and educated in country West Australia, Bev is a qualified home economist and science teacher.

The mother of three adult children and grandmother to three, Bev has been a teacher of life skills and a counsellor for the last 16 years.

Bev founded the Peter Brock Foundation in 1997 and acted as its administrator until 2005.

She is the Patron of the Lighthouse Foundation and of Fatality Free Friday and a Board Member of the Skylight Education Foundation and the Melbourne Rotary Club.

In 2003 Bev was awarded Nillumbik Shire’s Citizen of the Year and is a recipient of the Prime Minister’s Centenary Medal for Services to the Community.

Having spent 28 years as the partner of Peter Brock, who throughout that time carried the number 05 as demonstration of his commitment to the anti Drink Driving Campaign, Bev has been closely involved in all aspects of driver education, and in particular the need for a healthy attitude when getting behind the wheel of any vehicle.

From the mid 70’s Peter was a staunch campaigner for “Class Driving” education which involved him addressing many forums both internationally and across Australia. He also ran advanced driver education programmes and fought strongly for driver education programmes to be a part of the school curriculum.

Peter’s unfortunate death whilst driving in a competitive rally in 2005 gave Bev a first-hand awareness of the dramatic impact that road trauma has on families and the community in general.

Bev is passionate about working with RTSSV to reduce the incidence and impact of road trauma in Victoria.
