Motorised scooters

Stay mobile and maximise your safety

Over its 80 year history, the National Roads and Motorists' Association Limited (NRMA) has had a strong focus on improving mobility safety though its policy, advocacy and education activities. It has also recognised that issues concerning mobility safety change as technological and cultural developments occur.

Motorised wheelchairs (sometimes referred to as scooters) are growing in popularity. NRMA research has highlighted the ambiguity which exists within different sections of the community as to the rights and responsibilities of the users of these mobility devices. The 'Scooter Safe' package helps educate users on how to stay mobile while maximising their safety.

In June 2003 NRMA distributed to all Councils across NSW the education package to be used in their communities.

Attached are the files that make up the package, ready for you to download.
