In collaboration with Griefline, we’ve developed a fact sheet that provides clear, practical information to help Australians impacted by road trauma understand their experiences and access the support they need. You can find out more in the link below.

Road trauma can bring a complex mix of grief and trauma, shaped by sudden loss, shock, and a sense of injustice that can deeply disrupt a person’s life. While these reactions are common and understandable, compassionate support and trauma-informed care can help people feel less alone as they navigate healing over time.
