History
The Road Trauma Support Team was first established in Launceston, Tasmania in 1989 by Colleen Hall who had lost 7 members of her family in road fatalities. Colleen recognised that people involved in road collisions frequently experienced physical, emotional and psychological trauma which may be relieved through counselling, information and support.
The Road Trauma Support Team Victoria was established in 1994 after a group of concerned individuals with direct experience of road trauma joined with professionals working in the area of trauma and grief to provide a support service. Since then the organisation has grown, and now offers a range of services including professional counsellors to assist people affected by road trauma.
