Community initiatives and advocacy campaigns

NRMA community initiatives
We believe communities thrive when people are kept connected and moving. So, whether it’s advocating for safer roads, helping in times of crisis, or supporting and educating communities, we continue to work towards a better future for all.

Boost police and RBTs to save lives

Our latest report shows RBT levels are down to less than half of what is required under the Austroads best practice model. Join us in calling for more police presence and RBTs to make our roads safer for all.

When pandemic strikes

In 1918, we supported Australians through the Spanish Flu. So, when the pandemic hit in 2020, we responded as we’ve always done – by putting people first. By repurposing our diverse assets and networks, and mobilising a staff taskforce, we delivered help in uncertain times.

Lending a hand to farmers

We’re proud to help Australians living in regional NSW through our ongoing partnership with Frontier Services. Their Outback Links program enables volunteers from across the NRMA Group to provide free assistance to farmers doing it tough in places like Lightning Ridge.

Reducing biodiversity loss

Australia is lucky to be home to an amazing diversity of wildlife. To keep our precious fauna safe in the face of road accidents, habitat destruction, climate change and natural disasters, we’ve teamed up with Wildlife Recovery Australia, a joint venture of Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital and Odonata Foundation.

Providing flood relief

With natural disasters occurring more often, when crisis hits, our amazing people spring into action. In February 2022, southeast Queensland and Northern Rivers in NSW experienced a major flood event. Our Patrols assisted with stranded vehicles, moved people to safety, and helped with the clean-up. NRMA Parks and Resorts housed people who had nowhere to go. And SIXT provided the SES with vehicles to deliver sandbags and helped the Gold Coast Airport Authority transport donated goods.

Advocating for a fairer go

We’ve always campaigned to keep communities safe and connected. Today, we address the unique challenges of our times by focusing our advocacy work on regional Australia, driver safety, and cost of living. Initiatives include upgrades on local roads, equitable access, and new road safety policies.

Putting education first

We play an active role in the community to improve safety outcomes for the most vulnerable people on and around our roads. We educate tens of thousands of primary and high school students every year through face-to-face programs that address the unique road safety issues affecting them.
