We warmly welcome you to the official website of the Road Traffic Accident Trauma Charitable Trust trading as National Road Trauma Centre.
We understand the socioeconomic impacts of road crashes and the ongoing repercussions. The causation of road crashes and the implications it imposes in our community are varied and they are complex.
We work collaboratively with stakeholders and business partners to tackle the challenging issues and complexity the sector faces to improve a culture of health through harm minimisation and road safety.
We take a government-wide perspective to provide trusted, impartial and influential multi-sector collaboration.
If you have been impacted by a road crash. We are with you.

Acknowledgement – Al Stewart
As of recent we received the resignation of Al Stewart as a member of the New Zealand Road Safety Emergency Response and Healthcare Awards Executive Committee.
We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Al Stewart. Al’s unwavering support for the Trust’s vision has been instrumental from the outset.
Al first engaged with the Trust in 2016 during his role as Head of Roading, Canterbury Police during the development of the Road Accident Remembrance Day. In my opinion, we would not be where we are today without Al’s initial endorsement and support. Al’s commitment to road safety and community has helped us forge vital partnerships and drive our initiatives forward.
Al then progressed to Regional Manager for the Police Prosecution Service (South Island). Followed by working as an International Road Safety Consultant World Bank and Global Road Safety Partnership (IFRC).
Al’s extensive experience, including his distinguished service with the New Zealand Police and community led work underscores the caliber of leadership we have been fortunate to benefit from.
Al we wish you every success in your new venture. We thank you for your service and your exemplary leadership – we know your legacy will continue as we to strive towards supporting safer communities.
In 2020 Al became qualified as a Barrister. Al has started his private practice as a Barrister specialising in road safety. We wish you every great success in your new venture. We will certainly continue to keep in touch.
