The Supply Chain Advisory Network

Victoria’s global competitiveness relies on supply chain excellence through world best practice with the Victorian Transport and Logistics (T&L) industry.

Victoria is Australia’s major transport and logistics hub, servicing the Melbourne metropolitan area, regional Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, Southern New South Wales, South Australia and other parts of Australia.

Around 70% of Australia’s total population and the bulk of its manufacturing and agricultural capacity are captured in this economic zone.

A unique combination of geographic and demographic advantages makes Victoria the natural location for business, manufacturing and associated freight transport, distribution and storage activities.

The Victorian Government initiated the Transport & Logistics Industry Round Table to focus on ways to further optimise supply chains and logistics through a genuine partnership between T&L industry associations.
