The Road Transport Advisory Group

RTAG is established under the Fair Work Act 2009. 

We must consult the group about:

• making and changing modern awards about the road transport industry
• making and changing road transport minimum standards orders and road transport contractual chain orders
• decisions to defer or suspend road transport orders
• changing or revoking road transport orders after they have been suspended or deferred and
• how we prioritise cases about the road transport industry.

 Read the Terms of Reference.

The Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations appoints RTAG members. 

Our President can appoint a member of the expert panel on road transport as RTAG Chair. The President has appointed Vice President Ingrid Asbury to this role.

From 26 August 2024, Road Transport Advisory Group members are:

RTAG can consult broadly, including by forming subcommittees to advise it. Subcommittee members can be industry participants who are not members of the group.

RTAG must form an owner driver subcommittee if we want to:

• make an order that will cover owner drivers in the road transport industry, or
• exercise powers or functions that will affect owner drivers.

The group must consult any relevant subcommittees before advising us about a case.

RTAG has not formed any subcommittees.

We will publish information about Road Transport Advisory Group activities. This may include information about meetings, discussions, subcommittees, recommendations and advice.
