This is the latest in a series of Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) reports that provide information on Australian sea freight movements, vessel activity, the use of coastal trading licences, and the size and composition of the Australian trading fleet. This report contains statistics on maritime freight and shipping activities in Australia from 2005–06 to 2014–15.

This Excel sheet provides summary series of hospitalised injuries (injury resulting in confirmed admission to hospital, but not in-hospital death) from road traffic crashes from calendar years 2011 to 2021. These series are produced by the Road Safety Data Hub using data sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, with that raw data also included in the file.

The latest 2023 updates have added new data for 2020 and 2021, and new detailed tables on States and Territories:

The Freightline series is intended to provide information on interregional freight movements across Australia, filling a major gap in Australian transport-related data and information, to help better inform and support policy development and infrastructure planning. The Freightline series begins with a broad overview of the freight task, followed by separate commodity-specific issues that provide more detailed information about the size and location of major freight movements, supply chain composition and key infrastructure components. Freightline 4 (this issue) focusses on Australian coal transport supply chains and freight movements in 2014–15.

The Ministerial Directions governing the Bass Strait Passenger Vehicle Equalisation Scheme require us to produce a monitoring report every 2 years. Over the monitoring period (2013–14 to 2014–15):

• The Australian Government spent $40.9 million in 2014–15 on the Scheme, up 9.1% from 2013–14, and $37.5 million in 2013–14 (up 14.3% on 2012–13).
• The number of sea passengers with a motor vehicle may have been 23.6% higher than without the Scheme.
• Just under 18 000 new visitors to Tasmania travelled by sea due to the Scheme in 2014–15 (up from 14 500 new visitors in 2013–14).
• New visitors to Tasmania spent an estimated $50.2 million in Tasmania in 2014–15 (up from an estimated $39.0 million in 2013–14).
