The Motor Trades Association of Australia (MTAA) represents many of the 72,521 retail motor trades businesses which employ over 384,810 Australians and contributed $39.35 billion to the Australian economy in 2021; which equates to 2.1% of Australia’s GDP.
“Today’s passage of the NVES Bill signifies an important moment for the Australian automotive industry. “This legislation, a result of collaborative efforts between the Albanese Government and the automotive sector, marks a significant step forward in our collective journey towards decarbonisation.
Australia's automotive retail sector is among the 2024-25 Federal Budget winners with a suite of new funding commitments aimed at preparing the industry for a cleaner energy future while driving new opportunities for small and medium businesses.
The MTAA welcomes the Australian Government’s response to the Independent Review of the Franchising Code of Conduct led by Dr Michael Schaper issued today.
With the Government agreeing or agreeing in principle to all of Dr Schaper’s 23 recommendations, the MTAA applauds the Government for recognising that a fairer balance between franchisees and franchisors needs to be struck.
