The National Road Trauma Centre Resource Hub is a self-navigation tool that brings together clear, trusted and neutral information about road trauma in Aotearoa New Zealand.
This growing collection of downloadable resources helps people explore and understand the breadth and impact of road crashes, from harm prevention and safe road use through to emergency response, healthcare, rehabilitation and recovery.
Each resource is designed to be easy to read, print and share. Resources are informed by current evidence, official New Zealand government guidance and evidence-based practice. They support learning and informed conversations but do not replace individual medical advice, emergency assistance or the services provided by government agencies, emergency services and healthcare professionals.
