A different kind of P.A.R.T.Y.

Working across the Territory to prevent alcohol and risk-related trauma in youth.

About the  
Program

The P.A.R.T.Y. Program is an injury awareness and prevention program that exposes teenagers to the tragic consequences of risk taking behaviour. P.A.R.T.Y. is a licensed program first developed in Canada in 1986 aimed at 15-24 year olds. 

In the Northern Territory, P.A.R.T.Y. is an initiative of the National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre (NCCTRC) and the Northern Territory Government (NTG). Together, NCCTRC and NTG are working to minimise alcohol and risk related trauma in youth.

After Impact Documentary

Road safety is often spoken about in numbers and statistics. In 2023, 1,266 people died on Australian roads. Yet, we rarely hear about the people who have been seriously injured as a result of road crashes and who are subsequently living with life changing injuries. A staggering 40,000 people every year across Australia are seriously injured in road trauma.

After Impact is a TV documentary featuring seven survivors living with lifelong injuries from road trauma. Unfortunately road trauma is most prevalent in our youth. P.A.R.T.Y. program NT together with Road Safety NT and RADD created the documentary to highlight the hidden cost to those injury survivors who are left with life changing and lifelong consequences of risk taking behaviour.
