The Motorcycle Riders Association of Australia, also known as MRAA, was founded in Melbourne in May, 1978. It is a non-profit organisation serving and representing the interests of Australian motorcyclists. The aims of the MRAA are the promotion of road safety, fair and sensible laws, and a better image for motorcyclists.

In attempting to further these aims, MRAA representatives participate on various state and federal committees including the following:

VicRoads Road Safety Reference Group,
Victorian Motorcycle Advisory Council (VMAC)
Australian Motorcycle Council (AMC)
Standards Australia (Helmet Standards)
Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB)

In the early 1990's the MRAA split into various state organisations with the Victorian organisation retaining the MRAA (Australia) title. While the state based organisations are autonomous, there is a significant degree of collaboration and co-operation - particularly through the Australian Motorcycle Council of which the individual bodiea are members.
