Each year in Western Australia thousands of people are impacted by road trauma. Responding or first on scene at a car crash, losing family and friends, dealing with injuries, caring for those injured, causing a crash or witnessing a serious crash can have a devastating and enduring impact.
At Road Trauma Support WA, we offer a suite of education and training opportunities designed to support, inform, and empower individuals, organisations, and communities affected by road trauma. Whether you’re looking for post-crash support for yourself, your team, or those around you, our programs provide practical guidance, trauma-informed approaches, and pathways to support.
