Joining our Board means becoming part of a skilled and passionate team that is shaping the future of road safety and trauma care. Since our founding in 2010, the Road Traffic Accident Trauma Charitable Trust, trading as the National Road Trauma Centre, has worked across healthcare, emergency services, road safety, and post‑trauma care to deliver integrated, sustainable solutions for individuals, families, and communities impacted by motor vehicle crashes.
We place a strong emphasis on road safety, road trauma prevention, and harm reduction, recognising that preventing injuries and reducing their long‑term impact is just as important as providing care after an incident. Together, we work to ensure that those affected by road trauma receive the support they need, while driving positive change that benefits all New Zealanders.
We believe our people are our strongest asset and are fundamental to our continued success. Trustees will contribute to advancing our founding principles, providing opportunities for others, and enhancing sector capabilities. Guided by our founding principles in academia, we are particularly seeking trustees who are established academics affiliated with a university in the areas of Road Safety, Medical Science, and Psychology. We welcome qualified candidates who share our values to join our Board of Trustees and contribute to our mission of supporting the reduction of serious harm, injuries, and deaths and improving outcomes for those impacted by road trauma.
