To position Australia to meet its emerging freight and supply chain challenges, Commonwealth, state and territory infrastructure and transport ministers endorsed the original National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy (Strategy) and National Action Plan (Action Plan) in August 2019. The Strategy and Action Plan set an agenda for integrated national action across all freight modes.

Following a review in 2023-24, the Strategy was refreshed and a new National Action Plan developed in 2025. Developed by all Australian governments with extensive input from industry, the 2025 Strategy commits to action in four National Priority Action Areas:

•    Productivity
•    Resilience
•    Decarbonisation
•    Data.
