The Australian Logistics Council lodged a submission to the Productivity Commission’s inquiry into building a skilled and adaptable workforce, highlighting the critical omission of the freight, logistics, and supply chain sector from the Interim Report despite its $150 billion contribution to GDP and severe workforce shortages. Building on ALC’s June 2025 workforce submission, the updated paper calls for freight and logistics to be explicitly prioritised in the final report through a coordinated National Workforce Strategy, a National Logistics Skills Hub, precinct-based pilot programs, inclusion of logistics roles on apprenticeship priority lists, harmonised licensing, targeted migration pathways, and national career awareness campaigns such as Wayfinder: Supply Chain Careers for Women. It stresses the role of logistics precincts as cross-sector skills ecosystems and urges the Commission to embed workforce outcomes into procurement and infrastructure contracts. ALC emphasises that addressing workforce reform in freight and logistics is essential to securing supply chain resilience, national productivity, and long-term, future-ready careers.
