ARO is a proud founding member of the World Rescue Organisation

Formed in 1999 in Melbourne Australia, the World Rescue Organisation (WRO) is dedicated to advancing rescue and medical techniques, practices, and procedures to effectively manage road traffic collisions and enhance trauma care in a pre-hospital environment. By disseminating this knowledge globally, WRO aim to save lives and significantly improve long-term outcomes for victims.

Drawing upon the expertise of its member organisations and partners, WRO focuses on building and strengthening rescue and trauma practices, promoting the rescue challenge concept, and developing an ecosystem to share learning knowledge and expertise. These initiatives are designed to support rescue and medical teams operating in post-crash environments, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to perform efficiently and safely.

Opportunities exist for ARO members to participate in professional development, education and research, working groups, advisory boards, challenges and events hosted by WRO and its member organisations.
