Community Transport Organisation

The Australian Community Transport Association (ACTA) was formed in January 2011 comprising representatives from across Australia to provide a national voice for Community Transport. The objects of the Association are to:

1. Provide a forum for the State Associations and the State Representatives to meet and to discuss matters of mutual interest;
2. Represent Community Transport providers within Australia;
3. Make representations to Government, Non-Government and the Private Sector on behalf of its membership;
4. Provide information and support to its Community Transport providers in Australia;
5. Develop policy and standards that promote best practice in Community Transport organisations;
6. Promote Community Transport issues within throughout Australia; and
7. Liaise with organisations involved in transport nationally and internationally.

ACTA identified five National Community Transport issues:

1. Capital Funding and Vehicle Replacement
2. Block Funding
3. Volunteers
4. Health Related Transport
5. Rural and Remote Transport

ACTA will work ethically to lead and support initiatives within the Community Transport sector and act as an independent public voice that is both accountable and transparent. ACTA will consult widely and will utilise the knowledge and expertise of our members to ensure that our work, research and policy is of the highest standards.
