Australia’s freight sector is gearing up for big changes. In August 2025, the government released an updated National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy, outlining key priorities around productivity, resilience, decarbonisation, and data. Domestic freight is projected to grow by 26% between 2020 and 2050 — meaning more demand and opportunity for logistics firms.
Key Focus Areas & How They Impact You
Productivity & Efficiency
One aim is to reduce delays and boost infrastructure use. For logistics providers, this means investing in better planning systems, route optimisation software, and smarter fleet management.
Resilience & Risk Management
With extreme weather, supply chain disruptions, and shifts in global trade, strong systems and local adaptability will separate the winners. Having contingency plans and diverse routes becomes essential.
Decarbonisation & Sustainability
Green logistics is no longer optional — it’s part of Australia’s national strategy. Expect incentives and regulations around lower emissions, eco-friendly vehicles, and sustainable practices.
Data & Digital Integration
The updated strategy highlights the importance of real-time data, interoperability between systems, and better transparency across freight chains. Logistics providers using digital tools can gain trust and efficiency advantages.
