Truck Restorations for MND Research
Since 2017, NTI has been restoring and modifying vehicles, and raffling or auctioning them to help fund research into Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Our former CEO Wayne Patterson suffered from MND, and we decided to honour his passing by joining the search for a cure.
Every day, MND takes two Australian lives – and two more Australians are diagnosed with the disease. Wayne Patterson infused NTI with a strong commitment to values beyond business, such as being a responsible employer and an active community member.
Our annual fundraisers help us continue Wayne’s legacy. Our community of employees, business partners and industry associations have all given their time and efforts freely. Without their contributions, these projects wouldn’t be possible.
They are a great way to help others and reflect our hope – and Wayne’s – that one day, we’ll find a cure for MND.

Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls
NTI supports the Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls National Heavy Vehicle Driver Training Institute and its work in changing how driver training is delivered.
Did you know that women currently make up just 1% of the nation’s heavy vehicle driver workforce?
That’s why Pilbara Girls Heavy Haulage was established: to remove obstacles to and promote the employment of women as heavy vehicle drivers. The initiative is based in Karratha (WA) and is a not-for-profit organization providing professional development opportunities for newly licensed truck drivers.
Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls are passionate about best practice on-road and workplace safety, increasing female heavy vehicle driver participation rates in the Australian road transport industry, and working to develop a positive industry image.
