motoring organisations

If you're a member of a motoring organisation you can use the facilities of their Australian counterpart. Each state has its own motoring organisation, although they all fall under the umbrella of the Australian Automobile Association (AAA). If you're not a member of an auto club at home it's worth joining one in Australia, particularly for the peace of mind and the potential savings of the roadside assistance.

Roadside assistance can be contacted by calling 13 11 11 in any state.
