Every Australian, everywhere, every day, relies on freight.

We're working to create a safer, more efficient and sustainable freight and logistics industry for all Australians.

Australia's freight task is growing, leading to a range of complex challenges across the industry. With freight volumes forecasted to grow 26% between 2020 and 2050, we're ensuring Australia has a resilient transport and logistics system.

The National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy  provides a national approach to position Australia's multimodal freight supply chains to face the challenges of the next 20 years and beyond.

We work in partnership with all levels of government and industry to manage Australia's freight and supply chains. We do this through data management, benchmarking, mapping and strategic planning, and provision and management of transport networks covering our roads, railways, ports and airports.
