Australian Road Transport Industrial Organisation  -  ARTIO

The Australian Road Transport Industrial Organisation (ARTIO) is an Industrial Organisation of Employers registered under the workplace RElatins Act 1996.  It represents employers in the transport and logistics industry.  As at 31 December 2009 it had around 1500 members.  These include the large multi-national transport companies down to the small family owned businesses that perform a large percentage of Australia's freight task.  Nearly all of ARTIO's members would be constitutional corporatins and therefore affected by the new Fair Work Australia Legislation.

ARTIO operates as a federation with Branches in all States, except South Australia.  ARTIO and its Branches operate independently and in accordance with the particular Consititution applying in that Branch.

ARTIO Council, which has a representative from each State, (excluding South Australia), meets on a bi-monthly basis to consider and discuss IR issues impacting on the organisation and its members.  Much of its day-to-day activities are carried out by the Branches, especially when dealing with operational IR issues.
