Amber Community from Road Trauma Support Services Victoria

Amber Community is a not-for-profit organisation contributing to the safety and wellbeing of road users.

We provide counselling and support to people affected by road trauma and address the attitudes and behaviours of road users through education.

In working to deliver our purpose, we provide free, professional face-to-face, online and telephone counselling services across Victoria to people affected directly or indirectly by a road incident, including; bereaved family members, witnesses, drivers, first-on-scene, emergency service personnel, families and friends.

In addition, we deliver a range of education programs addressing the behaviours and attitudes of drivers in order to reduce the incidence of crashes, injuries and fatalities and the associated trauma and grief.

Trained facilitators deliver our education programs in conjunction with emergency service personnel and volunteers who talk about their personal experience. The programs are aimed at community and youth groups, the business community, as well as offenders through the Magistrates' and Children's Court of Victoria.

This mix of programs and the close collaboration and involvement of professional staff working with volunteers and road safety sector partners makes Amber Community unique in Victoria.
