NRMA

NRMA refers to two historically related Australian companies:

  • The National Roads and Motorists' Association, known as NRMA Motoring and Services, is a member-owned mutual organisation offering roadside assistance, motoring advice, International Driving Permits, travel and other services in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
  • NRMA Insurance is a brand and operating unit of Insurance Australia Group, a national insurance and financial services company. NRMA Insurance and NRMA Motoring and Services are independent companies and are both in agreement to use the same brand and name. Both companies are responsible for distinguishing the difference between the two organisations.
  • Early history

    National Roads Association

    The Australian National Roads Association, which would become the NRMA, was launched in 1920. Its original aim was not to provide road service or insurance, but to obtain "reasonable and just legislation" to fund and improve roads.

    At this time the planning and financing of main roads, in particular, had fallen into chaos following the defeat of the Main Roads Bill in 1911. Subsequent attempts to create a board to oversee main roads and distribute funding had also failed. The 1919 Local Government Act left all decisions to local councils, where decisions were made "from the point of view of local utility". Through-routes and main roads were assigned a low priority.

    who could it be it's
    probably me i know
    there's something wrong
    it should be a big
    mistake to let this go to
    long maybe it's all inside
    my mind with no room
    left to grow and now it's
    coming outside and it
    just won't let me go why
    does it matter where
    you've been because i
    cAre for you my friend i
    can't read into you mind
    what's been going of
    inside? miscom-munica-
    tion always seems to
    turn around those
    beneficial doubts those
    smiles into frowns how
    can i remember if
    i never even knew you
    can't pin all on
