Road trauma is a leading cause of death and disabling injury for children in Australia. Research conducted in Australia shows that if you put children in the right fitting child car seat – right for their age – but more importantly, for their size, many of these deaths and injuries can be prevented.
Mobility and Accessibility for Children and Adults is the national expert body dedicated to safe transport for people with a disability or medical condition.
MACA addresses the gaps in Australian policy, research, and practice in this vital area.
Allied health professionals, families and organisations can now access MACA’s ‘one stop’ evidence-informed resource for the safe transport of people with disabilities and medical conditions.
