In 2025, we are bringing an exciting new governance and operational model.
The Road Traffic Accident Trauma Charitable Trust trading as the National Road Trauma Centre is a dedicated charitable organisation committed and to enhancing the lives of others.
Due to a significant expansion, the National Road Trauma Centre is now seeking additional Board of Trustees who have an active interest in the Trust’s lead role in roading, healthcare, emergency services and post trauma care sectors that will allow us to continue to meet our objectives when we were founded in 2010.
Our strategic objectives are organised around a structure designed to ensure it provides meaningful impact to reduce the socio and economic cost of road trauma in our community. Currently in New Zealand Motor vehicle crash injuries have the highest rate of major trauma.
Our newly proposed structure is to provide the best outcome to optimise support centric to the needs of patients, industry professionals and road trauma prevention (road safety, physical and psychological injury prevention) in a structure and set at a standard not seen in New Zealand.
It is our vision, this newly defined structure will enhance collaboration and connectiveness to benefit and best serve the needs of those in our community, particularly those most vulnerable. We believe our people are our strongest asset and are fundamental to our continued success. We are looking for a qualified candidate who shares our values to join our Board.
