Motorcycle Assist Australia is an advocate for Motorcyclists Nationally.

We serve the industry by having created motorcycle specific Roadside Assistance packages designed & tailored specifically to suit the rider. Our policies are underpinned by 24/7 rider support via our own call centre. 

A portion of proceeds is donated to both the Queensland Motorcycle Council & NSW Motorcycle Council to assist in their efforts to make roads a safer place for riders.
