ARIC is the peak industry export body of the Australian Railway Industry consisting of members who supply goods and services. We provide our members with advice on export opportunities, strategies and markets by drawing on Austrade’s resources and support.

ARIC is recognised internationally through its activities such as continuous attendance and speaking at international exhibitions.  It also leads missions into target markets and acts as the primary access to Australian capabilities in rail technologies, services, product manufacturing and supply.
