Company Overview

ORGANISATIONAL ENVIRONMENT Amber Community (formally Road Trauma Support Services Victoria) is a not-for-profit organisation contributing to the safety and wellbeing of road and transportation users. We provide counselling and support to people affected by transport trauma and address the attitudes and behaviours of road users through education programs. In working to deliver our mission, we provide free, professional face-to-face, telephone and online counselling services across Victoria to people who have been affected directly or indirectly by a transport incident, including but not limited to; bereaved family members, witnesses, drivers, first-on-scene, emergency service personnel, families and friends. Through active engagement with people who have personal experience of a transport incident and the effects this has on theirs and others' lives, we also offer other support options, including peer support activity groups. In addition to counselling and support, Amber Community delivers a range of education programs addressing the behaviours and attitudes of drivers to reduce the incidence of crashes, injuries and fatalities and the associated trauma and grief. We are the only service of our kind in Victoria. Amber Community is an incorporated, non-profit organisation.
