The Australian Road Safety Foundation (ARSF) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting, encouraging and supporting the prevention and control of the trauma, physical and mental illnesses and diseases which are the result of road crashes.
Through a number of innovative road safety awareness programs, including driver education, advocacy, research and community engagement, the ARSF aims to achieve significant year-on-year reduction in the real, personal health problems resulting from Australian road crashes.
Behind every fatality and serious injury statistic, there are thousands of stories. The ARSF strive to provide support and understanding to ultimately assist road trauma victims to begin to heal. Click below to hear their stories.
