Who is NatRoad?

NatRoad, the National Road Transport Operators Association, was formed in 1994 when the Long Distance Road Transport Association and the National Transport Federation decided to combine their respective strengths. From this partnership, NatRoad has developed into Australia's premier Association for long distance and regionally based trucking businesses.

In 2008, NatRoad amalgamated with the Australian Road Train Association to create NatRoad, the National Road Transport Operators Association incorporating the Australian Road Train Association - Australia's largest trucking association, representing all long distance and regionally-based operators.

NatRoad is a not-for-profit Association overseen by a Board of Directors who all run trucking businesses. You can be sure that we will focus on those issues most important to you - keeping your trucks and business running.

NatRoad has members in every state and territory. Your business doesn't necessarily stop at the border, so why should your Association? We can provide support, information and advice regardless of where you operate.

Members range from owner-drivers to large fleet operators. We have the expertise to help you whether big or small.

Our aim is to represent your interests as an operator to get you a 'better deal' and to deliver direct operational benefits to you through advice, information and our supplier network. Put simply, we look after the things you don't have the time or resources to look after yourself and provide you with benefits you wouldn't otherwise get. In this way, NatRoad is a truly 'hands-on' Association, offering personalised services to members.
