Today we headed to Old Parliament House to check out Heart of Australia’s newest Heart 9 truck.

Heart of Australia is a mobile healthcare clinic that provides access to specialist healthcare for Australians living in rural and remote areas.

Their commitment to healthcare has saved 900 lives, provided care for 20,000 patients and saved 54,000,000 kms in travel for appointments 👏

The Heart Truck fleet are provided by PACCAR Australia consisting of two Kenworth K200 and five DAF XF 530 prime movers, while Bridgestone Australia provides the tyres that keep them on the road through rural Australia.

Every trucking career starts somewhere 🚛

Maybe you started behind the wheel, in a workshop or in a role you never expected would lead you into trucking.

From mechanics and drivers to logistics, policy, technology and everything in between, there’s a whole world of career opportunities in our industry.

The best part? There’s no one way in, and plenty of room to grow.

The ATA’s InRoads Workforce Program, sponsored by NTI, Volvo Group, bp and Teletrac Navman Australia, is helping build a stronger trucking workforce by shining the light on the opportunities available across the industry.

A big welcome to our 2026 participants – we are very excited to see where the program takes you.

We heard from FLF alumni Drew Hipwood and Jo Tomaszewski who reflected on their experience, before the new cohort chose one of three group projects to join, ranging from sustainable transport technologies to workshop attraction. The groups will present their work at TA 27.
