National Intermodal: Driving Australia's Sustainable Freight Future

As a wholly-owned entity of the Australian Government, National Intermodal is at the forefront of transforming the nation’s freight landscape. We’re not just building infrastructure—we’re reshaping how goods move across Australia by shifting the freight burden from road to rail. Our mission is clear: deliver smarter, more reliable logistics solutions that reduce emissions, ease congestion, and create lasting sustainability benefits for all Australians.

But our vision goes beyond transport. We’re committed to partnering with nature-focused organisations to enhance biodiversity and create thriving green spaces around our facilities—bringing environmental value directly to the communities we serve.
