Keeping freight moving

We’re working collaboratively with Government & Industry to keep freight moving

FREIGHT AND LOGISTICS COUNCIL OF WA

An increasing population and the growth in urban densification provides challenges in achieving a sustainable balance between community amenity and freight efficiency. In addition, growing levels of trade mean ever-greater demands on our road and rail networks, on our ports and shipping services, and on our airports.

To respond to this growth, it is important that there is a shared vision on how to cater for future demands on our freight network in a manner that works for industry and for the community.

The Freight and Logistics Council of Western Australia is a Ministerially appointed council that contributes towards this vision through the provision of independent advice to the Minister for Transport on strategic policy issues impacting the delivery of successful freight services in the State.

The Council is a forum where freight users and service providers sit side-by-side with Government policy makers to ensure the efficiency and sustainability of the State’s freight and logistics system.

Recently, the Executive Officer represented the Council at the Cyber Wardens’ strategic roundtable in Fremantle.

Cyber Wardens is an initiative of the Council of Small Business Organisations of Australia, supported by the Australian Government and an industry alliance led by Telstra, CommBank and the Australian Cyber Security Centre.

The session focused on enhancing the cyber resilience of Small to Medium Enterprises (SME) and subcontractors in WA. It brought together key stakeholders, including the Hon. Dr Anne Aly MP, Minister for Small Business (pictured), WA Small Business Commissioner Saj Abdoolakhan, and senior representatives from Fulton Hogan, CommBank, the Australian Cyber Security Centre, the Department of Home Affairs, AusIndustry, and leaders across the infrastructure and critical supply chain sectors.

The discussion centred on practical, scalable solutions to help SMEs safeguard their operations, with a spotlight on the federally funded Cyber Wardens program. Designed to equip small businesses and their frontline staff with simple, accessible cyber safety training, the free program aims to make cyber resilience part of the day-to-day culture in workplaces across Australia.

This roundtable is especially relevant for the freight and logistics sector, where supply chains rely on a complex web of small businesses and subcontractors. As cyber threats become more frequent and sophisticated, even a minor breach at one point in the supply chain can have significant impacts across the whole supply network.

The 10 minute Cyber Wardens program is free and offers sole traders, small business owners and employees the basic cyber security skills to protect their business against cyber crime. For more information visit cyberwardens.com.au.
