The Motorcycle Council of NSW Inc. (MCCNSW)

The Motorcycle Council of NSW Incorporated (MCCNSW) is a member-based, not-for-profit, community association, established in 1981.

MCCNSW provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas, and is the hub of management and technical assistance for the motorcycling community in NSW.

MCCNSW represents more than 400 motorcycling-related associations (and ride groups) and the owners/riders of the 285,000 registered motorcycles in NSW to the NSW Government in relation to non-competition riding – for recreation, for commuting, and for work – on road, off-road, and on track.

A key objective of MCCNSW is to support education and advocacy towards improved road safety for motorcyclists (and their pillions) on public roads, reducing road trauma for the people of NSW.

MCCNSW participates in the review and improvement of vehicle standards, vehicle registration, rider training, rider licencing, the compulsory third-party (CTP) Green Slip insurance scheme, enhancing access to public land in national parks and state forests (including on fire trails and single tracks), and participates with a variety of stakeholders in initiatives and campaigns leading to improved road safety outcomes.

MCCNSW organises Motorcycle Awareness Month (MAM) in October each year, with support from Transport for NSW (TfNSW).

MCCNSW is a member of the national peak body, the Australian Motorcycle Council (AMC), which provides an avenue for MCCNSW representatives to contribute to reviewing and developing national standards.
