OUR HISTORY

Amber Community was founded in 1994 by a small group of people whose lives had been directly impacted by road trauma.

These people understood the need for a specialist service where support could be offered to those who, like them, were affected because of the injury or loss of a loved one on the roads. They joined with professionals working in the area to provide counselling, support and education services.

From this humble beginning in 1994, Amber Community has grown to offer counselling, support and education services to people in Victoria affected by a road incident.

Amber Community now comprises a team of staff and volunteers who provide counselling, support and education services to more than 7,500 people annually.

In 2015 Amber Community celebrated its 21st birthday and produced a booklet called 21 years.

In 2022 Road Trauma Support Services Victoria changed its name to Amber Community.

In 2023 our head office moved to Mitcham.
