Crash Reporting and Changes – NSW

To help reduce danger to road users and manage crashes more efficiently, from October 2014, you may no longer have to wait for police at a crash site in NSW.

Police will still need to be called to the scene if:

• anyone is trapped or injured
• they are needed to direct traffic or deal with hazards
• any drivers appear to be affected by alcohol or drugs
• a bus or truck needs to be towed, or
• anyone involved has failed to exchange details.

Please see the attachment to know the correct procedures for appropriate outcomes in each crash scenario.

Remember, if you are involved in a crash, keep safe and move away from traffic.
