Our history, achievements and milestones

1987 - Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) established


Today: Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC), established just over 20 years ago, is Australia's largest injury prevention specialist. Research, consultancy and training include safety in all modes of transport, in the workplace, in the community and in the home.

In 2005 MUARC was designated as a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre of Violence, Injuries and Disabilities - one of only 23 such centres in the world and the only one in the Western Pacific.

MUARC has many clients both national and international, but the Centre maintains special relationships with a number of bodies in its home state of Victoria, Australia: VicRoads, the Transport Accident Commission, the Department of Justice, the Department of Human Services, VicHealth, and the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria.
