The Royal Automobile Club of Australia (RACA) is an Australian motoring organisation, which has also incorporated the Australian Imperial Services Club since 1987.

The RACA was established in March 1903 in Sydney, and is the oldest motoring club in Australia,

founded by Henry Alfred ‘Harrie’ Skinner, WE Fisher and HE Jones.

The Royal Automobile Club of Australia had an important role in shaping early motoring legislation, in safeguarding the rights of motorists, and in establishing motorsport in Australia.^[1]

The organisation used to provide roadside service and insurance but in 1945 in an agreement with the

NRMA ceased offering these services with members gaining reciprocal access to NRMA provided services.

The RACA is a member of the Australian Automobile Association.
