Advocacy campaigns and community initiatives

PLH - delivering meals PLH - delivering meals header

The NRMA has always had a focus on road safety, and we have historically played a key role in lobbying government for improvements to NSW and ACT roads.

Today, this focus continues as we work with the community to identify challenges around safety and infrastructure, traffic congestion, transport accessibility, public transport, tourism and fuel sources and then we research and campaign to create positive change.

The benefits of electric cars
Why the NRMA supports electric vehicles

We are leading the national debate on Electric Vehicles (EVs) because we know it is the right thing to do, but we also acknowledge that the community has mixed views.

The community spirit runs deep within our business as we strive each day to stay true to our values of integrity, helping others, quality service and speaking out.

At the NRMA we believe communities thrive when we all keep moving. Whether by servicing the vehicles of drought-stricken farmers or helping vulnerable Australians obtain their driver licence to access employment, we're here to help.
