Our support network
The Road Trauma Support Network recognises that those who share a common experience can best understand and support others in their grief and pain. We run support groups which bring people together in a caring and safe environment of mutual support. These are held in a number of locations and are facilitated by qualified Counsellors.
Our aim is to:
- assist people affected by any form of road trauma
- advocate for legislative change that will lower the incidence of road trauma
- to promote availability of support services to trauma victims
- provide education programs and initiatives which raise awareness of responsible road use

Support Groups |
|
The Road Trauma Support Network recognises that those who share a common experience can best understand and support others in their grief and pain. For this reason the Support Group aims to bring people together in a caring and safe environment to give and receive mutual support. Each Support Group meeting is facilitated by a professional Counsellor. For more information please visit our Support Groups web page. |
Advocacy and Court Support |
|
Clients undergoing counselling often have current cases in the legal system and require additional support while they attend court. We may be able to organise professional support during this process, using our own staff or by referral to another court support provider. |
Conferencing |
|
We support the Conferencing process, where, in a structured, assisted format, victims are able to confront those who have caused them harm. A trained Conference Facilitator provides a safe environment and our Counsellor provides adequate preparation and support during the process. This process is a powerful tool for repairing harm and paving the way for emotional healing. |
Education |
|
Personal experience may allow people to see issues in a very different light. Sometimes those insights are valuable in bringing about change. Change is very personal and may come in many ways. As we grow we can assist others. Lobbying government in an appropriate manner may lead to legistative change. Part of our agenda is to raise the awareness of the consequences of irresponsible road use. To that end we run programs in schools, with community groups and court directed programs. We work with councils on road safety issues. Road Awareness Program for High School Students (Yrs 10-12) Time: 50 min What our clients say: "Attending the Traffic Offenders Intervention Program has changed the way I will drive in future - without a doubt a life change experience.
