The Four Wheel Drive Association of Australia (4WDAA) is a member organisation that brings together enthusiasts, dealers and manufacturers to protect your right to 4WD and to help you get behind the wheel and out on the trails more often.

About The 4WDAA

4WDAA Activities and Events

toolboxCalendar

All 4WDAA and 4WDAA chapter activities and events must be registered on the official events calendar. This registration effects event insurance cover to ensure that event organisers and their volunteers are covered against claims from third parties if an incident happens during an event

The categories of events the 4WDAA and any 4WDAA chapters may promote include fundraisers for AMA Charity (4WD treks, adventure runs, etc), working bees (bush/ trail clean ups, etc), social events (BBQ's, gatherings, etc), 4WD pleasure drives/ recreation trips (group tours, runs, camp overs, etc) and 4WD competitive events (winch challenges, adventure challenges, etc).

toolsGuidelines

All events organised by the 4WDAA or a 4WDAA chapter are insured by the Australian Motorist Association (AMA), which means we must comply with the guidelines, best practice and operational standards as set by the AMA.

All AMA sanctioned events are required to comply with the General Events Guideline and is the basis for which all 4WDAA and 4WDAA chapter events operate. Under the AMA guidelines, the main activities of the 4WDAA or a 4WDAA chapter are identified as 'social gatherings', 'pleasure drives' and 'competitive events'. 

browserOfficials

All 4WDAA and 4WDAA chapter activities and events are to be managed by officials called the Event Organiser, Event Supervisor or Event Referee.
