Across 2025, the ARA brought members together through major conferences, industry forums and new professional development programs, while advancing key advocacy priorities to support a more productive, safe and sustainable rail sector.

This year saw record participation in ARA events, the release of new industry research, continued progress on national rail harmonisation initiatives, and the delivery of new training and capability-building programs for the workforce.

The ARA 2025 Highlights video captures a year of progress for the Australia and New Zealand rail industry.

Thank you to our members, partners and stakeholders across Australia and New Zealand for your continued support.
