Industry Skills Australia (ISA) has released its 2025 workforce plan for the transport and logistics industry, which includes road freight transport.

Shaped by the strategic workforce planning committee for the industry and prepared by ISA, the plan includes a detailed snapshot of the current workforce, an analysis of current and emerging workforce challenges and forward-thinking actions to address priority workforce issues.

The ATA is represented on the committee by Julie Russell OAM (pictured), who said the committee was consulted on workforce plans and provided with detailed analysis that identifies and tracks workforce trends. 

“From this analysis, we review, rationalise and agree a pipeline of activities to support and build a sustainable, world-class workforce,” Julie said. 

While not all initiatives can be put into the current year’s plan, the committee work to ensure to prioritisation is considered and relevant across the transport and logistics space. 

“We were pleased to present a workforce plan accepted by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations and recognise its value as a central roadmap for collaboration across industry.”

ISA will hold a webinar about the transport and logistics plan on 24 July from 11.00am-11.45am AEST.
