Our role and purpose are established through the National Transport Commission Act 2003 (NTC Act) and the Inter-governmental Agreement for Regulatory and Operational Reform in Road, Rail and Intermodal Transport.
We are accountable to Australian transport ministers through the Infrastructure and Transport Ministers’ Meeting (ITMM), comprising Commonwealth, state and territory ministers responsible for transport and infrastructure, and local government representation. We work closely with the ministers’ advisory body, the Infrastructure and Transport Senior Officials’ Committee (ITSOC), which includes the heads of Commonwealth, state and territory agencies as well as other transport bodies.
