The Australian Road Transport Industrial Organisation (ARTIO) is an Industrial Organisation of Employers registered under the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009. It represents employers and prime contractors in the transport and logistics industry, particularly those engaged in road transport. ARTIO has over 400 members across the country and has been registered under the applicable legislation since 1984.

ARTIO operates as a federation with Branches in all States except South Australia. ARTIO and its Branches operate independently and each has participated directly in the relevant state industrial system prior to the creation of a more uniform national industrial relations framework and as enhanced by the Fair Work Act 2009.

ARTIO and its staff, particularly Paul Ryan and Travis Degen, both of whom are legally qualified, will be available to answer questions arising from the RTD Award and this Handbook.

These services are not restricted to ARTIO members and are available to all employers in the road transport industry during the period of the Shared Industry Assistance Project which expires on 29 April 2011. After this date you need to contact the Fair Work Info Line on 13 13 94.
