Organisational structure
A summary of the NTC's organisational structure.
Who we are & what we do
The NTC is an independent advisory body.
We provide quality, impartial advice and national land transport reform proposals to government through the Transport and Infrastructure Council. The Council consists of Commonwealth, state and territory ministers responsible for transport and infrastructure.
The NTC contributes to the achievement of national reform priorities which are agreed by the Council. The Council’s current strategic reform priorities are:
- Sustainable funding for Transport and Infrastructure
- Embracing innovation and technology in transport and infrastructure
- Productive and liveable cities and regions
- Maximising freight productivity.
We are a corporate body established as a national transport reform agency by the National Transport Commission Act 2003.
We are funded by the Commonwealth, state and territory governments. The NTC is located in Melbourne and employs around 40 staff.
