About Us

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Australia Incorporated (CILTA)

CILT
was established in the UK in 1919, and has been operating in Australia since 1935. CILTA is part of the CILT International network with of over 33,000 members and more than 200 key corporations working in 100+ countries.

Our mission is to provide leadership in research, policy and professional development and supporting continuous improvement in the Transport and Logistics Industry.

The association covers all those who work transporting passengers, moving freight and managing Australian domestic and international supply chains from the most junior school leaver to the most senior CEOs.

CILTA's accredited, certified and recognized development programs, along with its networking and event opportunities truly offer its members 'the way forward for industry professionals'. 

Specifically CILTA works to:

Involve people as members and professionals in T&L. T&L continues to change and grow quickly. Our freight logistics is already about 14.5% of Australian GDP and employs about 1.25 million workers while passenger Transport has a direct, positive impact on the livability of our towns and cities and on the growth of our economy. CILTA challenges members to get involved and play their part in shaping the future through our events, networking functions, surveys and seminars and our various working groups and committees.

Inform - As T&L grows in complexity knowledge becomes more important than ever. CILTA keeps members informed about the critical issues, emerging trends, international and local developments and about the people in T&L who are making a difference via daily RSS newsfeeds, weekly updates, monthly e-newsletters, and access to the on-line International Knowledge Centre, research reports and seminars as well as with social media.

Recognise - Skills, experience and training count. The CILTA Membership levels provide important recognition of the skills and experience of members as they progress in their careers. Exceptional achievement is then recognised by the awarding of the awarding of the Certified Practicing Logistician (CPL) and Certified Transport Planner (CTP) accreditations and through our prestigious annual National T&L Industry Excellence Awards.

Develop - CILTA supports lifelong learning and the development of people through short courses, mentoring programs and qualifications, many of which have both an Australian and an international level of recognition.
