Transport.

The Australian transport industry is the link between the imports and exports that drive the Australian economy.

Mining and agriculture are key industries that rely on the transport of specialised equipment and goods to remote locations to allow for the production of exports that are then transported to Australian ports and to markets around the world. Increasing regulation, low commodity prices and a highly competitive industry mean challenging business conditions for those in the transport industry.

The ports in WA are vital to Australia’s economy with the world’s largest bulk export port by volume located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
