The MCWA is an incorporated not-for-profit association operating as a council for like-minded motorcycle groups for riders’ rights, safety and recognition. Any association, club or entity (organised group) can apply for membership and nominate two delegates to speak and vote at MCWA meetings on the group’s behalf. The MCWA provides an advocacy link between motorcyclists, the Government, its instrumentalities, the general public and such bodies deemed necessary to serve the objectives of the MCWA.
OBJECTIVES
In our role as an advocacy body, the primary focus of the MCWA is improving motorcycle road safety with our slogan being “Rights – Safety – Recognition Giving motorcyclists a voice.” The MCWA will also advocate on behalf of motorcycle riders where feedback has shown that legislation, regulations and road rules need to be reviewed. It is also important to note the MCWA will always conduct itself in a professional and objective manner and will seek to work at both strategic and operational levels with organisations. The MCWA will also work towards our input being based on accurate and clear data, and the expertise and experience of our members. It is also important to note that the MCWA is focused on representing the whole of Western Australia and the diversity of motorcycles and motorcycle riders.
