About

We acknowledge the traditional owners and continuing custodians of lutruwita/Tasmania. We pay respect to the Aboriginal community today, and to its Elders past and present. We stand for a future that profoundly respects and acknowledges Aboriginal perspectives, culture, language and history.

In 1923, RACT made a promise: that we would be there for the people of Tasmania. Not only have we kept that promise, but we have also grown to become one of our island’s most iconic and trusted institutions with more than 210,000 members.

This year marks the 100th year RACT has operated and contributed to shaping our island and supporting our community.

From countless roadside rescues to lifesaving advocacy, we’ve been firmly in Tasmania’s corner. We’ve been a beacon through the dark hours. We’ve helped bring more value to our members’ lives. And we’ve spoken up where it matters most.

To celebrate the past 100 years of being Tasmania’s shoulder to lean on and voice when it matters, we’ve launched this website which tells the stories of RACT, our members, and current and former staff.
