Turn on the TV or open a newspaper and you see new political infighting, royal commissions and a strange new era of politics globally and here at home. We're constantly confronted with 'fake news' and an overload of information, so it's not surprising we've seen a breakdown in trust in many big and familiar institutions. It's hard to know who to trust when each days seems to bring news of another betrayal.
The NRMA is now one of the most trusted brands in the country. We know we need to earn that trust everyday. This means showing up every day where we are needed and just doing what needs to be done.
Cars still break down at inconvenient times and we attended over 1.7 million roadside jobs last year. Cars need servicing, and 120,000 drivers choose the NRMA to keep their running. We trained almost 7000 new drivers through NRMA Driver Training.
It's vital we teach our children how to stay safe on our roads and we recently celebrated the 250,000th student educated via our primary school program at the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children.
We show up in Carinda (image above) and Lightning Ridge and get farm vehicles moving. And an amazing number of Members packed up their cars and toured country areas in response to the Open Road article 'Your road trip will support our farmers'.
It's the sort of help the NRMA has provided for almost a century.
We show up to fight for more transparency in fuel prices, we negotiate better deals on your behalf, and provide you with an alternative motoring choice by rolling out electric vehicle charging stations.
