Road Trauma Support Services Victoria (RTSSV) is a not-for-profit organisation contributing to the safety and wellbeing of road users. We provide counselling and support to people affected by road trauma and address the attitudes and behaviours of road users through education.

In working to deliver our purpose, we provide free, professional face-to-face and telephone counselling services across Victoria to people who have been affected directly or indirectly by a road incident including; bereaved family members, witnesses, drivers, first-on-scene, emergency service personnel, families and friends.

Through active engagement of people who have personal experience in the effects of crashes on theirs and others lives, we are able to offer a number of support options including peer support activity groups.

In addition, we deliver a range of education programs addressing the behaviours and attitudes of drivers in order to reduce the incidence of crashes, injuries and fatalities and the associated trauma and grief.

The TAC pays benefits to people injured in transport accidents.  Working closely with our road safety partners, the TAC also actively campaigns to reduce the incidence of road trauma through accident prevention programs.

Victoria Police was established in 1853 and provides policing services to the Victorian community 24 hours a day, seven days a week, working to keep over 5.9 million Victorians safe.

Police officers and protective services officers (PSOs) are supported in their roles by public service professionals who work as administrators, managers and specialists in a range of functions such as legal services, accounting, psychology and forensic sciences.

In 2015-16, our workforce expanded with the recruitment and deployment of 214 of a total 400 police custody officers (PCOs).  Continuing the transition of the management and supervision of prisoners from police to PCOs in 2016-17 will further increase our capacity to provide effective policing services to the community. 

Victoria Police provides policing services to the Victorian community across 54 Police Service Areas (PSAs), within 21 divisions and four regions - North West Metro, Southern Metro, Eastern and Western. These regional boundaries correspond with those of other Victorian government departments, enhancing cross-department service delivery, particularly in the area of emergency management.

The court is committed to serving the people of Victoria by discharging its duty in a sensitive, courteous and professional manner.

The cornerstone of this service is respect for:

• the dignity of the person who has died

• the family and friends of the deceased person

• a process aimed at assisting family and friends to understand what happened and why.
