About ARTC

Keeping Australia moving and growing our network for the future brings immense opportunities.

At ARTC (Australian Rail Track Corporation), we are one of the largest rail network owners in Australia. With more than 1,800 employees across 39 locations, we all work towards our common goal to link the nation and keep Australia moving.

As the rail industry undergoes significant transformation, we've invested billions of dollars to build, expand and modernise our network to get freight off the road and onto rail, and we're not stopping.

That's good for our customers, motorists, the environment, and communities.
